Limited Gilt Tapes for Casket Edges
$ 9.00
While I was in France last year, I visited a gold thread weaver and was able to procure a few reels of really lovely gilt ribbon to use for edging caskets. They are shown against the reproduction gilt woven tape for comparison.
One is bright gold with a lovely textured stripe and the second is a mix of an aqua silk that matches our blues and gilt in a grape pattern. I have seen this particular tape used as a later conservation-added edge for caskets.
