Golden Brocade of Queen Margaret - In honor of Her Majesty, it is our privilege to present to you a replica of the original fabric woven in Italy between the years 1403 - 1439. On the brocade, you can observe a motive of a pomegranate within laurel wreaths in ogival patterns. The pomegranate, as a pattern, was often depicted as a symbol of fertility, most commonly used in royal families. There are two theories about the dress. The first claims that the dress was made as the queen's wedding dress. The second theory denies this assertion based on radiocarbon dating, which indicates the use of the dress in the queen's mature age.
Brocade was a historical term typically used to describe a fabric, usually silk, with a distinct jacquard pattern. Patterns were woven with threads containing expensive metallic fibers, such as silver or gold. However, the term "brocade" later began to be used for any fabric with a rich pattern. The technique for producing brocades originated in the Middle East. All our fabrics are high quality product. We manufacture all our brocades in our company HEDVA ČESKÝ BROKÁT s.r.o factory in Rýmařov, Czech Republic. We ship all over the world.
