5th Order

The absolute summit of the General Conservatory of the High Grades of French Masonry, the 5th Order of the French Rite (Grand General Chapter / GCGRF) is the seat of high ritual synthesis, historical transmission and in-depth study of the sources of the Tradition. A space of reflection for the Dignitaries and Sages of the Order, this supreme degree calls for regalia of masterful sobriety and flawless nobility, where every attribute reflects the fullness of the initiatory journey accomplished.

Rare Craftsmanship: High Textile Goldsmithing Embroidery

Because the 5th Order embodies the excellence of the Rite, we reject industrial printing and ordinary synthetics. Our regalia is embroidered piece by piece in the old style by master embroiderer craftsmen. Worked in noble gold thread and pure silk thread on heavy moiré or selected lambskin, the hermetic and geometric motifs proper to the Grand Chapters retain surgically precise relief and unfading brilliance over time.
