For our first post of 2020, we are pleased to present a special Commission completed by The Saint Bede Studio during 2019 for a returning customer in Texas (USA). This commission was for a Borromeon chasuble made from silver brocade and decorated in a grey / silver theme.This commission posed some difficulties for us in locating a metallic silver brocade which had sufficient suppleness. After exploring many avenues, the Studio finally obtained a brocade made of silk with metallic threads.
The ornament was formed from a cotton jacquard in colours of silver and ivory. This was outlined with a grey and silver braid to form the Roman TAU at the front and a column at the back.
The finished product was distinctive, elegant and lightweight.
