Antependia come in various types, shapes, sizes and colours. Generally, for a frontal to look noble and dignified it should have a certain crispness to it, thereby accentuating the solidity and form of the altar itself, and this is one of the advantages of the Roman style of frontal, that we will feature today -- generally stretched as they are upon a frame (though that isn't to say that it couldn't take other forms as well) .
In dealing with the commissioning of antependia, it is a good idea to deal with a bespoke maker who is particularly familiar and practiced in their construction and who can advise you on what might work best for your particular altar. That is certainly a benefit that Penson Ecclesiastical Arts can bring to prospective clients as this is their particular focus and passion.
