Past High Priest Royal Arch Chapter Apron – Red Velvet Gold Silk Badge

Description

Past High Priest Royal Arch Chapter Apron – Red Velvet Gold Silk Badge

Past High Priest Royal Arch Chapter apron marks completed service at the summit of Chapter office with a presentation that brethren in the room read without prompting. The white satin body sits at 14 inches high by 16 inches wide, proportioned correctly for senior officer wear, and the deep red velvet ribbon border runs two inches wide across the collar fall and apron perimeter, framing the white field with the density of color that Royal Arch Chapter tradition reserves for its most distinguished past officers. No fringe softens the edge. The border terminates cleanly, and that restraint gives the apron its composed authority.

At the collar point, the Triple Tau badge sits in its triangular gold form, identifying Royal Arch Chapter affiliation with the precision that Past High Priest rank demands. Centered on the apron body, a colorful block arrangement in red, blue, yellow, and multicolor forms a triangular grouping that serves as the central badge of the piece, hand embroidered with silk threads onto the white satin ground. The embroidery work carries the dimensional quality that silk thread produces, with the badge colors reading clearly under Chapter room lighting without bleeding into the surrounding white field.

Two red decorative silk cord tassels hang from the collar sides, each finished with a knotted top that holds its form through active wear. The cords are color-matched to the red velvet border, maintaining the monochromatic discipline of the red and white presentation across every element of the apron assembly. When the Past High Priest stands during Chapter proceedings or occupies his position in the line of distinguished officers at an installation, the tassels fall symmetrically and the full apron assembly reads as a single composed piece rather than a collection of separately sourced components.

Silk thread embroidery at the badge positions confirms the investment appropriate to Past High Priest grade. Silk carries a natural sheen that synthetic thread does not replicate, and that sheen contributes to the badge’s presence under the varied lighting conditions of a working Chapter room. The hand embroidered construction ensures that the badge detail holds its integrity through years of ceremony wear and dry clean care without the thread separation that machine-applied work develops at stress points over time.

At the rear, red fine polyester lining covers the full apron back, finished with a glove pocket for officers who carry white gloves through formal Chapter evenings. The adjustable waist belt runs wide enough to accommodate a range of sizes and fastens with a gold metal snake fastener that locks without requiring mid-ceremony adjustment. Dry clean care preserves the silk embroidery, velvet border, and satin body across the full span of a Past High Priest’s continued Chapter attendance.

The two-inch red velvet ribbon border holds its pressed edge and color depth from the first installation wearing through decades of Chapter service, maintaining the Past High Priest’s presentation at the standard his completed office warrants.
