Bolton Humeral Veil

Bolton Humeral VeilOur Bolton range echoes the numinosity of Pugins glasswork, of which many fine examples are to be seen at Bolton Abbey, giving reference to the multiplicity of Pugin's work. The main fabric, Alton, is based on another of our fabrics, Talbot, shown in this set on the orphrey.

Our Bolton range echoes the numinosity of Pugin’s glasswork, of which many fine examples are to be seen at Bolton Abbey, giving reference to the multiplicity of Pugin's work. 

The main fabric, Alton, is based on another of our fabrics, Talbot, shown in this set on the orphrey. Talbot originates from a set of vestments designed in 1848 by Pugin for St. Augustine's Abbey, Ramsgate. Colours shine through interlocking ogee, in this exquisite pattern, as if they were medieval panes of stained glass. Fleur de lys and quatrefoil motifs can be seen woven against a variety of colours of silk. 

Combined with examples of vestments of the new Liturgical Movement, in particular the Borromean cut, this range is a popular set in our collection of stock vestments. 

The veil sits comfortably on the shoulders and is closed with a metallic clasp at the chest. Towards the ends, practical hand pockets are sewn onto the lining to facilitate a firm grasp of the sacred vessels.
