Jonas E Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have in my possession a gold miniature of the Royal Guelphic order. Is it possible to know how old it is? What's the value? I have never seen a miniature for sale.

Wild Card Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi Jonas E, I have seen a surprising number of Guelphic miniatures over the years; but I must say that yours is one of the most finely executed pieces that I have ever seen. Even though, for all practices, the awarding of this order virtually ceased in 1866, as I indicated, miniatures of it were quite popular. Like EK minis, the quality of Guelphic minis ranges from the good to the bad to the ugly; and as I said, you have one of the best. Congratulations!

Wild Card The only one I can find coming up in auction as a single was at DNW in December 2002, it was very comparable to yours and made £270. Nowadays I would expect one to make £400-500. All the best, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas E Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks for the information.. I will probably sell it sometime since my main interest is Swedish orders and decorations. I bought it from a pawnbroker for about 80 euros, so I guess it was a good buy.. /Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
