EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of religious history - the Chasuble (Opus Anglicanum) from the early 16th century. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this velvet and embroidery masterpiece is an emblem of English artistry. Hailing from the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK, this chasuble holds a fascinating provenance. It was once owned by the esteemed Huddleston family of Sawston Hall, known for their unwavering Catholic faith during a time of religious turmoil. Adorned with shields representing the dioceses of Exeter, Ely, and Abbot of Westminster, it symbolizes their devotion to their beliefs. The intricate motifs adorning this vestment are truly awe-inspiring. Seraphim figures dance amongst delicate fleur-de-lys and water flowers, creating an atmosphere that is both ethereal and regal. This chasuble has long been associated with Lady Isabella Neville (d. 1516), who married Sir William Huddlestone in 1486. As part of her dowry, she brought this magnificent garment to Sawston Manor. Every stitch on this chasuble tells a story - stories steeped in tradition and spirituality. Its ornate decoration featuring crosses and coats-of-arms evokes reverence and solemnity within its liturgical purpose. Preserved through centuries past, this opulent textile serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion within ecclesiastical artistry
