The Orleans Cloth of Gold is a sumptuous reproduction of a 16th-century French textile, evoking the magnificence of the Field of the Cloth of Gold—the legendary meeting between Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France in 1520. This historic design recalls the last great display of medieval chivalry, where royalty met beneath golden tents, surrounded by lavish fabrics, embroidery, and pageantry.

Orleans brings that same spirit of splendor to your sacred space. Woven with metallic yarn and silk, this fabric shimmers with a regal glow that makes it ideal for the most solemn and celebratory occasions. Its bold repeat and rich texture are particularly suited to altar frontals, copes, dossals, and banners where a sense of historic grandeur is desired.

Color: Available in classic Gold, true to the name and tradition of Cloth of Gold fabrics.
