Marthe. Condition: worn dusty the felt with holes possibly wormed especially at top.<br /> <br /> Known as a chaperon de chariton or de charité this heavy and elaborately embroidered 6-foot long “stole†would have been a regular feature of village life in Normandy being worn by members of the village’s charitable lay confraternity.<br /> <br /> Sometimes known simply as “charités†charitable confraternities were still active during the 19th century after being temporarily suppressed by Revolutionary secularism and at least until recently could still be found in some Normandy villages especially in the Eure Chaline p. 96. Their principal charge dating back to centuries of plague was the burial of the dead. Each confraternity placed itself under the tutelage of a saint or several saints and the Virgin. Consisting of 12 members called “charitons†they were led by the village curé; while basically egalitarian each member had a different charge such as banner-carrier bell-ringer treasurer etc. The chaperon was the most important of several elements of their special costumes the others being an equally heavy dalmatic a soutanelle or black robe and the barette the ecclesiastical beretta. These were worn in church and in processions. Red chaperons were for regular processions and black ones for funerals. Originally carried only by the ancien maitre the recently retired master of the confraternity a role that was relayed every two years the chaperon came to be worn by all members of the confraternity. One can only imagine what martyrdom hot days brought. In compensation for their sufferings confraternity brothers expected to be wined and dined after funerals earning a certain reputation; hence the French saying “boire comme un chariton.â€<br /> <br /> This lavishly embroidered and decorated chaperon was probably made by local women. In photos of modern processions somewhat lighter-looking and simpler chaperons are worn by the charitons. <br /> <br /> Sainte-Marthe is a village in the Eure. The Musée des Beaux-Arts of Bernay has a chaperon from the same village Inv. 985.6.1.<br /> <br /> Cf. N. J.

1650778EHB223STDEngland London 1650. Size when opened: 17 x 25 cm. Ivory silk satin richly decorated in a colourful floral design with goldwork metal sequins and clusters of seed pearls the text "voir nostre domine" embroidered on the front and back. Exquisitely embroidered 17th-century English binding with a colourful floral design comparable to the very few silk bindings decorated in London during the years ca. 1625-1650 that have survived. The design which is identical on both sides showcases a crowned Tudor rose with its stem in a vase surrounded by flowers foliage and ornamented leaves with the text "voir nostre domine" at the top. It has been embroidered onto a base of ivory silk satin lined with white linen and decorated with four blue painted ornaments on the interior. The work has been executed with an exquisite pallet of green blue pink red orange white brown and gold threads brilliantly contrasting the ivory white of the base fabric.All sections and shapes have been beautifully outlined with gold thread fastened with red silk. The hearts of the roses the crowns the vases and the initials V and D of the text have been decorated with small pearls. Little round sequins are scattered in the foliage filling the negative space. At the interior two pockets have been sewn intended for the insertion of a book probably a Psalter of ca. 16.5 x 10 cm or 12mo format.Some sections are a little bit faded the embroidery on the spine and around the edges is partly detached missing a few pearls and sequins and likely some goldwork the silk is slightly water stained on the interior. Otherwise an extremely rare specimen of a very richly decorated silk bookbinding in very good condition.l Cf.
