Garter Order Honorary Decoration Silk
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the United Kingdom's Order of the Garter: Garter and Shoulder. This unofficial model, believed to be of foreign manufacture, dates back to the mid-18th century. Crafted with intricate detail, it features marcasite on silk, creating an exquisite display. The garter measures 46.6 cm in length and 1.9 cm in width, weighing 40 grams. The shoulder piece is 20 cm long and weighs 60 grams. It is important to note that the epaulette seen in the image is not part of the Orders insignia. Housed within a private collection by an anonymous collector, this extraordinary artifact offers us a glimpse into England's rich heritage. Its significance lies in its association with honor and distinction as it represents membership in one of Britain's oldest chivalric orders. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every intricate detail through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate both the craftsmanship and historical value of this honorary decoration. As we admire this fine example from Great Britain's past, we are reminded of its enduring legacy that has spanned centuries.
