An artistic silk fabric featuring an embroidered portrait of the "Admo"r Shlita of Gur."
Enclosed within a paper sleeve printed in Hebrew, Polish, French, and English: "Gedolei Yisrael" / "Artistic Silk Fabric."
According to the Shvadron collection: "It can be assumed that this fabric was produced in Poland in the early 1920s."
Exceptionally rare! This fabric is not found in known online collections, not in the Israel National Library, and has never been seen in public auctions! Only portraits of Zionist leaders, and not Gedolei Yisrael, are known in this style.
This stunning silk tissue portrait depicts the revered Admo"r the Imrei Emes from Gur, created with meticulous craftsmanship and artistic sensitivity. The woven design captures the dignified expression and spiritual presence of the Admo"r, emphasizing intricate facial details and the flowing texture of his traditional attire.
The use of silk fibers gives the piece a luminous quality, with soft, shimmering hues that shift under different angles of light. The interplay of fine threads creates a tapestry-like effect, blending artistry and devotion into a timeless tribute to a spiritual leader deeply cherished within the Gur Hasidic community.
Comes in the original brown paper wrappers.
Paper wrapper 20cm.
Woven Portrait: 18 cm X 12cm.
