Or Nué
Or nué ('shaded gold') is a form of goldwork embroidery worked with a couching technique, whereby different coloured silk threads are stitched over the gold threads in order to form various designs. The or nué garments are slightly later in date than the equally prestigious opus anglicanum vestments.
