FREE MASON APRON AND JEWEL (musician)

This is a beautifully preserved kid leather and gilt set of Masonic regalia from the Metropolitan Grand Lodge of London, part of the United Grand Lodge of England. The set includes a senior Craft apron, matching collar, and an Organist/Director of Music jewel — a complete and elegant combination rarely found together.

The apron is crafted in the classic London Metropolitan style, with a rich blue border, gold detailing, and ornate gold tassels that mark it out as a senior‑rank regalia, typically worn by a Past Master or equivalent officer. The central roundel embroidered with “LONDON” 

The Freemason jewel is the metal emblem worn on a ribbon or collar during lodge meetings. It showing rank of the wearer.  The office they hold (e.g., Master, Treasurer, Organist)

The matching collar carries the star‑shaped jewel featuring the lyre, the traditional symbol of the Organist or Director of Music within a Masonic lodge. This jewel identifies the wearer as the lodge’s musician.  A respected and valued role within Freemasonry. The collar and jewel pair perfectly with the apron, forming a cohesive and attractive set.

The regalia comes with its original carry case. Although the box carries no label or lodge number.  This was common for privately purchased senior regalia.

Overall, this is a charming and characterful piece of London Masonic history. It would make an excellent addition to a collection, a display piece, or a replacement set for lodge use. The craftsmanship, condition, and completeness make it a standout example of senior Metropolitan regalia.
