Past High Priest Royal Arch Chapter Apron – Red Velvet Gold Bullion

Description

Past High Priest Royal Arch Chapter Apron – Red Velvet Gold Bullion

Past High Priest Royal Arch Chapter Apron carries the full ceremonial weight of one of the most distinguished offices a Royal Arch Mason can hold. The brother who has served as High Priest of his chapter earned this apron through leadership and dedication, and every detail of its construction reflects that standing.

Deep red velvet ribbon runs as a two-inch border across the full perimeter of the apron body and flap, a rich ground against which craftsmen work the hand embroidery using silk and golden bullion threads. The vine and floral scrollwork across the red border panels is stitched by hand, each curving tendril and blossom placed individually so the pattern reads as continuous growth across the width of the border rather than a repeated stamp. Gold bullion thread carries a dimensional quality that flat gold printing cannot replicate, the raised surface catching Lodge room light differently at each angle of movement.

At the center of the flap, an All-Seeing Eye within a radiant triangle sits hand-embroidered in gold, the symbol of divine watchfulness that Royal Arch ceremony places at the highest visual point of the officer’s dress. Below it, where the flap meets the apron body, gold fringe hangs across the full width in a dense, even line, its 1.5-inch strands dropping with the weight of quality metallic thread. That same fringe borders the complete perimeter of the apron, so the gold line runs unbroken from shoulder point to waist edge on every side.

The white apron body presents a clean field at its center, where a multicolored shield sits encircled by a green hand-embroidered laurel wreath. The wreath curves outward in both directions from the base, its leaves individually formed in silk thread, meeting at the top to complete the circle around the shield. On each side panel, gold embroidered decorative column forms anchor the left and right edges of the composition, tying the border scrollwork to the central wreath in a single unified arrangement.

Golden metallic braid runs along both inner edges of the red velvet ribbon border, framing the velvet between two lines of gold that sharpen the transition from border to apron body. The apron measures 14 inches high by 16 inches wide, excluding fringe, dimensions that give the composition room to read in full from across the chapter room floor without crowding any of the individual embroidered elements.

Red fine polyester lining covers the back of the apron cleanly, with a glove pocket built into the rear panel for practical storage during chapter work. An adjustable waist belt closes with a golden metal snake fastener that accommodates a range of waist sizes and holds its position through the full ceremony. Care instructions specify dry clean only, preserving the hand embroidery and metallic threads across years of chapter use.

The 1.5-inch golden metallic fringe sits in an even, unbroken line around every edge of the apron and flap, holding its density and drape through repeated folding and wear.
