Altar cloths

I make all sizes and kinds of altar cloths in many different fabrics. Whether you're a mission with a tiny budget or a large cathedral with multiple tables to cover, I am happy to help.

Here are some of the items I offer:

Altar cloth (Greek-style and Russian-style): The Greek-style cloth covers the top of the altar and hangs down 8-12 inches on all sides of the altar. It is finished with galloon and fringe along the perimeter and fully lined. This style cloth starts at $305 for a standard 42-inch by 42-inch altar. The Russian-style cloth is sometimes referred to as a "fully dressed" altar cloth and comprises two cloths: the top cloth, which is just like a Greek-style altar cloth, and the bottom cloth, which is a cross-shaped cloth laid on top of the altar and then having the sides buttoned at each corner, causing the altar to be completely covered or "dressed". This style cloth (including both top and bottom cloth) starts at $750 for a standard 42-inch by 42-inch altar.

Proskomedia table cloth, Memorial table cloth, Side table cloths: These auxiliary cloths can be made in various styles, but are usually made in the Greek-style altar cloth fashion, hanging down 6-10 inches on each side, finished with galloon and fringe. There is a wide variety of sizing in these cloths, but pricing usually begins at $225.

Analogian (Proskynitarion) covers: I offer a Small size (16 inches wide by 40 inches long) that starts at $135 and a Large size (18-20 inches wide by 72-84 inches long) that starts at $210. These are finished with double banks of galloon and fringe at the front edge and a nice, large cross. Custom-sizing is available.

Chalice veil sets: Sets include one aer and two chalice veils. In addition to chalice veil sets made to match vestment orders, I also offer machine-embroidered sets in various styles (see photos below).
   Pricing:
   Standard brocade or velveteen $235/set
   Real metal brocades $275/set
   Machine-embroidered, non-velvet $250/set
   Machine-embroidered velvet $275/set

Gospel covers: Available in two sizes-Square (24-inch by 24-inch) and Rectangle (24- inch by 36-inch; typically used when you want to cover both the Gospel and a blessing cross). Square size is $105 in standard brocade/$135 in real metal brocade; Rectangle size is $145 in standard brocade/$195 in real metal brocade.

Custom-sized cloths (niches, baptismal font covers, etc.): I have made many of these over the years. Please provide me with sizes and I will be happy to provide prices. If you don't find the information you need above, please email me at krista@kwvestments.com.
