Altar Antependium (altar frontals) & Ambo Antependium (lectern fall), Roman style

We can prepare altar antependia and ambo falls in traditional Roman style. Each frontal is skilfully hand-tailored to fit the altar/ambo and can be constructed according to your requirements. 

The antependium can be made from damask (Winchester brocade) or Italian floral brocade; or a brocade panel can be used to decorate the damask antependium. Decorated with standard wavy gallons in gold or silver and with the option of adding fringes. We can recommend the best panelling option according to the size of your altar. (Photos show some of our commissioned works)

The antependium may be attached to white cotton altar cloth and a backing cloth to allow it to rest securely on the altar, or we can prepare an undercloth for magnetic attachment of the frontals. With magnetic patches, the frontals can be easily exchanged for different colours without dismantling the altar set up.
We can also add velcro tapes, hook eyes or pole pockets for attachment to existing systems of your altar. 

Embroidered applications or designs can also be added on the altar frontals as required.

Matching ambo antependia (lectern falls), tabernacle veils etc. can be prepared also.

Production time usually takes 2 - 3 months.
