In this joyous Octave of Pentecost, we are pleased to present further images of a set of red vestments.
The set was made from ecclesiastical brocade in a fiery combination of red and straw-gold and lined in a matching shade of red. The vestments were ornamented in the Roman style, with a TAU at the front and a column at the back, formed from an outlining 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-designed imitations!
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 restrained set of vestments like this is striking for its combination of colours and fine workmanship.
