Masonic Apron
07 January 2026
Description

Masonic Apron intended for use in a Royal Arch Lodge. It is printed on silk from an engraved copperplate. According to a letter from the Museum of Our National Heritage, the engraving is most likely by James Eddy of Providence, Rhode Island, c. 1820-30. The item is mounted on fabric. This is an authentic apron of the 1820-30 period. The design shows symbols of the arch, keystone, Ark of the Covenant, and Euclid's 47th mathematical problem. The apron was the property of William Owen of Wheatcroft, Kentucky and was brought from London, England by his great Grandfather when he came to America.

Dimensions

Roughly 14 inches wide by 16 inches high. I can take exact measurements if needed, but the apron is currently wrapped in bubble wrap and shroud to protect it from any light.

Hi Janelle,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

I'm not finding much online that would indicate that William Owen was a figure of historical importance - do you know who his great-grandfather was?

Thanks to confirm at your convenience,
Delia

Hi Delia,

Unfortunately I don't know whom the great grandfather of William Owens was. Thank you,
