Gloria Dei Ivory Wool Chasuble - Karelia Arte Sacra
The Gloria Dei Chasuble is a solemn liturgical vestment made entirely from pure ivory wool. Its refined design combines the nobility of the fabric with exceptional handcrafted ornamentation, creating a distinguished chasuble for the most important celebrations of the liturgical year.
The main fabric features a subtle textured pattern of small crosses, adding depth and luminosity while allowing the richly decorated central orphrey to remain the main focal point.
Rich Handcrafted Ornamentation
The wide vertical orphrey extends along both the front and back of the chasuble. It features a carefully arranged sequence of crosses, squares and geometric motifs framed by four different types of braided gold and silver trims.
The design is further embellished with gold-toned metal appliqués in two different sizes, delicate decorative elements and sparkling Swarovski crystals, which reflect the light and enhance the solemn character of the vestment.
A prominent handmade cross appears on the upper section of the orphrey, surrounded by gold embroidery and ornamental details that emphasize the Eucharistic meaning of the chasuble.
Structured V-Shaped Collar
The chasuble features an elegant structured V-shaped collar made from the same decorative fabric as the orphrey. It is finished with several gold and silver trims, metallic inserts and crystals, creating a majestic transition between the collar and the central decorative panel.
The contrasting inner collar provides structure, comfort and a secure fit throughout the liturgical celebration.
