The Wakefield Brocatelle is a striking Gothic design taken from one of a series of frescos depicting the stories of St. Francis, by Domenico Ghirlandio, in Santa Trinita Church, Florence. Its central motif combines the pine cone, an ancient symbol of spiritual enlightenment, with classic ogee arches woven in luminous metallic thread.
As a brocatelle, Wakefield has a sculptural quality with a firm, structured hand. Both the face and reverse sides of the fabric are usable, giving it added flexibility for vestment makers and designers. The metallic yarn adds radiance and depth, making it a strong choice for high feast vestments, altar frontals, copes, and banners.
Wakefield is ideal for occasions and churches seeking a historical fabric with visual presence and formal dignity. Its shimmer and scale are especially effective in large or elevated settings.
