Abstract

The samples, already belonged to the palermitan antiques dealer Angela Daneu Thsinke, it was sold at 1975 to the National Gallery of Sicily to cessation of activity, after a negotiation with Vincenzo Scuderi, superintendent of galleries and works of art in Sicily. Donated by an anonymous collector, it consists in 36 panels on which scraps of ancients French or Italian fabrics and embroidery – velvets, brocades, damask and lampas – dating from the 16th to the 18th century, are applied. It constitutes a rare example of textile collecting in 19th century Sicily, where it is most that one aimed at lace is most widespread, in particular at the Sicilian Parades belonging to Sicilian tradition, of which Antonio Salinas is the most prestigious representative. Acquisition adds to another major donation made in 1960 to the Gallery of the Neapolitan collector of sacred vestments, sacred embroidery and lace Mario De Ciccio.
