paul wood Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 What's the provenance of the two gartered stars?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think A-I. He was made a knight in 1813.... Another St. Andrew the First-Called combined with the breast star of the Order of the Garter (from Hermitage collection and this one is certainly his ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks Nick, nice to see Garter attachments that are obviously genuine. The late Ernst Blass created dozens of such insigniaPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimj Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nice photos! Thanks for sharing Nick! I have to comment the display of Alexander I's awards. The museum people has turned the sword of the "knight of the grand cross 1st class" up side down. Alex knew what side was up. /Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 He knew ... Or maybe it was Dawe George (who painted this portrait)? Seriously though, I have somewhere black-and-white photo of the very same combistar that we observe on Dawe portrait. St. Andrew the First-Called + Order of the Garter + Order of Sword. Will post it in a couple of days ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
