Paschaltide : 19

 

In this post, we show a glimpse of a set of vibrant festal vestments made by the Studio.  A golden brocade was ornamented with the orphrey braid called Saint Chad, which is unique to the Studio and based on the designs of AWN Pugin.  A crimson taffeta was used to line these vestments.

The Saint Bede Studio takes particular care with the quality of the linings and fringes used for our vestments.  In this instance, a bullion fringe in red and gold complements the rich colour of the taffeta lining and picks up the colours of the braid ornamenting the maniple and stole.

In this Holy Easter Season, we are pleased to continue our series of posts illustrating festal vestments.

For this post, we present a set of vestments made from an ivory brocade and fully-lined in a shade of gold 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.  This ornament is formed from a magnificent silk damask, featuring doves, and which is outlined with a golden 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!

In this Holy Easter Season, we are pleased to continue with our series of festal vestments.

The chasuble in this post was made from a damask in the colours of ivory and straw-gold.  Fully-lined in a shade of dark red cloth, the chasuble is ornamented with a brocade in colours of old gold and burgundy.  A galloon of straw-gold outlines the TAU ornament at the front of the chasuble and the column at the back. 

The chasuble is in the Studio's Borromeon style, which is the product of years of research into historical vestments and refinement of dimensions for comfortable use.

In this post, we depict a stole and maniple from two similar sets of Festal vestments made by the Studio. The sets were ornamented with the same braid called Saint Marie, which is unique to the Studio.  A brass-gold taffeta was used to line these vestments.

The Saint Bede Studio takes particular care with the quality of the linings and fringes used for our vestments.  In this instance, a simple golden bullion fringe  complements the rich colour of the taffeta lining and picks up the colours of the Cross ornamenting the maniple and stole.

These vestments are not lavish; but there is much to be said for simple and noble vestments, particularly when they are thoughtfully designed and well-made.

Section of a Gothic chasuble made from ivory ecclesiastical brocade and ornamented with the Studio's Welby braid, enhanced with a bordering quatrefoil galloon.

This set of vestments is not elaborate, but is well-made and will be serviceable for many years.  There is much to be said for vestments of simple dignity.

In this post, we feature a Festal dalmatic and its maniple.  The set was made from a ecclesiastical brocade in ivory.  A muted green taffeta was used to line these vestments, and they were ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids, called ChiRho.

The Saint Bede Studio takes particular care with all aspects of its vestment-making.  

In this instance, for example, the maniple has been made to an unusually short length in order to be easier for a deacon to wear it adjacent to the dalmatic sleeve.  A long maniple is particularly inconvenient for a deacon, because of his ceremonial actions during Mass.  No regulation requires a maniple to be a particular length, which allows practicality to be a determining factor.

This post features a set of vestments in the Studio's nod to contemporary styles.  This style we call Saint Martin.  It is both long and wide and is especially designed to fold up beautifully when the arms of the celebrant are elevated (as is shewn in the adjacent image).

Tasteful contemporary vestments are made by certain studios in Italy, France and Germany, but we also make them here in Australia at the Saint Bede Studio.  This set has a simple dignity and is made from high quality fabrics.

A damask in ivory and straw-gold is lined with a crimson-red cloth and is ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids called Saint George, forming a TAU in the front and a column at the back.

Saint Mark the Evangelist

 

On this Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist, we are pleased to present this image of a set of vestments made last year for an Ordinand.  A section of the upper back of the chasuble is depicted.

The set was made from an ecclesiastical brocade in a crimson red and a very muted shade of gold.  

The work of the Saint Bede Studio is distinctive for its artistic qualities, taking pains with every detail, such as the alignment of ornaments.  In this instance, a European brocade in the colours of rosy-red and straw gold was used as the basis for the ornament, outlined in a geometric galloon in a richer shade of gold with bold red Crosses.
