{"product_id":"fragment-of-a-cope-fine-art-print","title":"Fragment of a Cope - Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed reproduction of a 17th-century silk damask textile fragment, featuring a repeating floral motif typical of historical liturgical vestments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis image documents a historical textile fragment, specifically a portion of a cope, which is a liturgical vestment worn by clergy during religious processions and ceremonies. The fabric is a silk damask, a technique that relies on the contrast between warp-faced and weft-faced satin weaves to create a pattern without the use of additional colours. The design features a repeating floral motif, characteristic of the decorative arts produced during the 17th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern displays a structured, symmetrical arrangement of stylised blossoms and foliage. Each floral unit is oriented vertically, creating a rhythmic, grid-like effect across the surface of the silk. This type of repeat pattern was common in ecclesiastical and secular textiles of the period, often influenced by trade routes that brought exotic floral designs from the East into European markets. The monochromatic nature of the damask allows the play of light across the woven surface to define the shapes, providing a subtle texture that shifts depending on the angle of observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a fragment, this piece offers a view into the construction and aesthetic preferences of historical weaving workshops. The vertical seam visible in the centre suggests that this section was once part of a larger garment, joined to accommodate the width of the loom. The precision of the repeat indicates a high level of technical skill in the weaving process, typical of professional workshops supplying the church or the aristocracy. This print captures the tactile quality of the original silk, preserving the visual rhythm of the floral design for contemporary study. It serves as a record of textile history, demonstrating the application of complex weaving techniques to create functional yet decorative ecclesiastical objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-as-the-allegory-of-painting-artemisia-gentileschi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting - Artemisia Gentileschi — Artemisia Gentileschi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown Artist","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58898983649615,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58899039715663,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58899039748431,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58899039781199,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58899039813967,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58899039846735,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58899039879503,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58899039912271,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58899039945039,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58899039977807,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58899040010575,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58899040043343,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Fragment-of-a-Cope_Poster_CompositorV1_1790522696746.jpg?v=1790523891","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/fragment-of-a-cope-fine-art-print","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
