The Season Per Annum : 19

In this post is illustrated a set of green vestments in a design now familiar to readers of the Saint Bede Studio blog.

There is a difference in this particular set of vestments, since they are made from a vibrant shade of green brocade.  

The Gothic-style ornament is formed from the Studio's Saint Chad orphrey braid, which is based on braid designed by the Gothic Revival luminary AWN Pugin.  A galloon of red and gold finishes-off the vestments nicely. 

These vestments are in one of our Gothic Revival styles which we call Saint Benet.  The chasuble and accessories were lined in a muted shade of gold taffeta.

The vestments of the Saint Bede Studio are beautiful in design, sound in construction and distinctive in appearance.

Festal Gothic Revival Vestments

In this post, we are pleased to present a glimpse of another set of festal vestments, in the Gothic Revival style.

This set is constructed from ecclesiastical brocade and is lined in a shade of lemon taffeta. 

The ornament is formed from matching braids, one wider, one narrow, in colours of crimson and straw-gold upon a green background. This is one of the Studio's unique braids called Saint Edmund and is directly based on a design by AWN Pugin.  It features the sacred monogram " IHS ".

Although not elaborate, this is a beautiful and distinctive set of vestments.

Red Gothic Revival Vestments : 2

 

In this post is shewn a glimpse of a set of red vestments in the Gothic Revival Style.  The vestments were made from a rich shade of English ecclesiastical brocade and lined in taffeta of a brass-gold colour.  

The ornament was formed from one of the Studio's unique braids Saint Giles in colours of burgundy and straw-gold, upon red.  These vestments are simple in their ornamentation, but striking.  There is no need here for fine embroideries, but the effect is created with strong colours and contrasts : the hallmark of the work of the Saint Bede Studio.

Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is honoured on 24th September under various titles :  Our Ladye of Ransom; Our Ladye of Mercy and our Ladye of Walsingham.

In this post, we are pleased to describe a set of Marian vestments which we call Ave Maris Stella,  being in the Gothic Revival style.  These vestments have been very popular with customers of the Studio.

The decorative focus of this vestment is an orphrey braid which is based on the work of AWN Pugin.  This braid is produced in two shades of blue (lighter and darker) with figured ornament in gold.

These vestments were made from an ecclesiastical damask in the shade of ivory and lined in mid-blue taffeta.

The Season Per Annum : 18

 

For this post, we are pleased to present a set of green vestments, made in the traditional Roman style.  The vestments are made from a beautiful green brocade and fully-lined in a lovely shade of crimson silk.  The chasuble in this post is ornamented in the well-known Roman style, a TAU at the front and a column at the back, formed by a brocade in burgundy and old gold and an outlining burgundy and gold galloon. 

The chasuble is in the Studio's Saint Philip Neri style, which is the product of years of research into historical vestments and refinement of dimensions for comfortable use.  The Studio revived this more ample 16th century style of the Roman chasuble in 2007 and since then we have made many of them.  Beware of poorly-made imitations!

The Season Per Annum : 17

In this Season Per Annum the Saint Bede Studio is pleased to present a glimpse of another set of green vestments, in the style we call Borromeon.

This set is constructed from handmade dupion silk in a darker shade of olive green, and it is lined in a lovely shade of burgundy taffeta. The ornament is formed from a brocade in colours of red upon gold, which is arranged in columns and outlined in a narrow galloon.  

At the Saint Bede Studio, we strive to avoid the idea that the designation Ordinary Time is a reason to make green vestments which are non-descript, or lacking in inspiration. This is a beautiful and distinctive set of vestments; there is nothing "ordinary" about it.
