Portfolio of the Bishop of Coutances
[ca 1659] | 24 x 32 cm | velvet portfolio
Portfolio belonging to the Bishop of Coutances, Eustache le Clerc de Lesseville (1614-1665), azure tooling with three gilt crescents topped with a label. The date that we have given is that of the Le Clerc de Lesseville's appointment as the Bishop of Coutances.
Embroidered velvet portfolio, blank spine, large ecclesiastical arms embroidered with gold and silver thread on the two boards. The arms are framed by four richly embroidered gold and silver decorations in each corner. The insides of the boards are salmon pink silk, red silk tie ribbons, two have come off and are loose. Worn velvet in certain areas, however, the appearance is preserved. Although the gold and silver have lost their shine, the conservation condition of this portfolio is quite exceptional.
