Beau Veste 6002/6003 – Pure Linen Cross & Crown Embroidered Altar Cloth – White or Gold Silk

Beautifully crafted by Beau Veste, the Styles 6002 and 6003 Altar Cloths combine the timeless beauty of genuine 100% pure linen with traditional Catholic liturgical embroidery. Featuring an elegant Cross and Crown design, delicate silk embroidery, and a beautifully hand-scalloped border, these custom-sized altar cloths provide a dignified and meaningful covering for church altars. Available in your choice of white or gold silk embroidery.

The embroidered front border features a repeating arrangement of traditional crosses, royal crowns, and crown-of-thorns imagery, creating an elegant composition of meaningful Christian symbols.

The beautifully detailed embroidery is complemented by a distinctive pointed, hand-scalloped edge that adds an attractive decorative finish to the altar cloth.

Available in white or gold silk embroidery, the design complements both traditional and contemporary Catholic church sanctuaries. The gold silk version provides a distinguished decorative contrast against the white linen, while the white silk version offers a subtle, understated appearance.

Traditional Christian Symbolism

The Cross and Crown design incorporates several important symbols of the Catholic faith.

The Cross: The central symbol of Christianity, representing the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His victory over sin and death, and the promise of eternal salvation through His Resurrection.

The Crown of Thorns: Recalls the suffering and Passion of Jesus Christ, particularly His humiliation and sacrifice for the redemption of humanity.

The Royal Crown: Represents the kingship of Christ and His eternal reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Together, these meaningful symbols reflect both Christ's sacrifice and His divine kingship, creating a beautiful decorative design especially appropriate for the celebration of Holy Mass.

Available Embroidery Options

Style 6002 – White Silk Embroidery

Features the traditional Cross and Crown design embroidered in white silk thread against the white linen fabric. The subtle white-on-white embroidery provides an elegant, understated appearance that complements virtually any sanctuary design.

Style 6003 – Gold Silk Embroidery

Features the same beautiful Cross and Crown design embroidered in rich gold silk thread. The gold embroidery creates a warm decorative contrast against the white linen and complements traditional gold tabernacles, sanctuary candlesticks, chalices, and other church furnishings.

Both styles feature the same premium linen fabric, embroidery design, hand-scalloped edge, and minimum front drop requirements.

Premium 100% Pure Linen Fabric

Unlike polyester altar cloths, the Beau Veste 6002 and 6003 are manufactured from 100% pure white linen, a traditional fabric long associated with Catholic altar linens.

The linen features a 120-thread construction and 4¾-ounce fabric weight, providing an excellent balance of natural texture, substance, and traditional appearance.

Pure linen offers a distinctive woven texture and timeless character, making these altar cloths especially suitable for churches seeking authentic, traditional liturgical textiles.

The beautifully detailed silk embroidery is complemented by carefully finished hand-scalloped edging, creating a refined appearance while maintaining the simplicity and reverence appropriate for the sanctuary.

The embroidery runs along one side of the altar cloth, typically positioned across the front of the altar. The embroidered design requires a minimum 8-inch front drop to accommodate the complete pattern.

Custom Sized for Your Altar

Every Beau Veste 6002/6003 Altar Cloth can be custom cut and hemmed to accommodate the dimensions of your altar.

The pure linen fabric is manufactured in an overall width of 52 inches. Larger or unusual altar dimensions may require special construction, which will be reviewed when preparing your quotation.

To ensure a proper fit, please provide the following measurements:

• A – Altar Width: Actual front-to-back depth of the altar mensa.
• B – Front Drop: Desired length of fabric hanging over the front of the altar (minimum 8 inches).
• C – Altar Length: Actual side-to-side length of the altar mensa.
• D – Side Drops: Desired length of fabric hanging over the sides of the altar.
• E – Back Drop: Desired length of fabric hanging over the rear of the altar.

All measurements should be supplied in inches.

Our team will review your embroidery selection and dimensions and provide a custom quotation based on the amount of fabric required and any necessary hemming, cutouts, or finishing.

Special Note Regarding Embroidery Placement: The embroidered border runs along the front edge of the altar cloth. If you would like embroidery along additional edges or require special corner construction, please specify this when requesting your quote. Additional finishing charges may apply.

Because pure linen is a natural fabric, some shrinkage should be anticipated. Appropriate fabric allowances will be considered when preparing your quotation.
