In this blessed Octave of Pentecost, we are pleased to present this image of a set of Gothic Revival vestments.
The set was made from dupion silk in a fiery-red and lined in a very muted shade of gold. The vestments were ornamented with a geometric braid unique to the Saint Bede Studio, which we call Salisbury. It is based on an old design and is woven in the colours of red, burgundy and straw-gold.
The work of the Saint Bede Studio is distinctive for its artistic qualities and the pains taken with every detail, such as the alignment of ornaments. Even a simple vestment like this is striking for its combination of colours and fine workmanship.
