ricky1972 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hello Jacky,This order was a military order, instituted in 1818 by the King of Portugal and Brasil D. Joao VI - I don?t know about the use of the order nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current head of the house, HRH Dom Duarte, Duque de Bragan?a still awards this order. I have three friends here in the USA who have received this order from Dom Duarte.

I believe the grade was commander, but I'm not exactly sure. They wear the medal around their neck and have a beautiful breast star too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky1972 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 And do you know for what kind of merit and what kind of grade they had been awarded this order???I?m curious too...This awards are still produced?I saw a picture of one of the royal family in Portugal (or Brasil I?m not sure) wearing a Order of the Rose - I must confess I think it?s a bit strange...

Mike Dwyer Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 According to the International Commission on Orders of Chivalry http://www.icocregister.org/list2004.htm the Order of Pedro I and the Order of the Rose are house orders of the imperial house of Brazil. This means the head of the house (which is currently in dispute between two claimants) can still award these orders if they so wish. Some royal families only award house orders to family members today, others still give them out to other people in certain circumstances.The royal house of Portugal still has two house orders, Saint Isabel and Immaculate Conception of Vila Vicosa, and one "chivalric institution" Saint Michael of the Wing.

ricky1972 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hello Mike,Thanks for the information about the orders. I?ll check the link right now! I said I think it?s a strange thing to see people wearing this orders, ?cos I prefer to see them on the chest of our military heroes from the past - those who fought on the bloody War of Paraguay for example...Cheers,Ricardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky1972 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hello all,Here?s another piece from my collection. A nice portuguese Order of Christ - this one?s a little smaller than the normal size, awarded to a brazilian military officer in 1800?s Cheers,Ricardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex K Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hi ricky1972 I'll do just that. As I have never really collected South American Awards, (A lost opportunity) what sort of prices are we talking about? as looking at these they are some really attractive pieces, I must be honest the ones you've posted with what I call the Aztec influence really excite me more than those based on similarities with established European orders.any help appreciatedregardsAlex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
