Hi @g1usxs - thanks for getting back to me. Picture of the reverse as requested, but no maker's mark. I'd be grateful for any information you have.

Sorry for late reply but the reverse image unfortunately does not provide anymore clues. So, most likely Persian manufactured.

Thank you anyway! Does the ribbon tell you anything much? I haven't seen another example like it, here.

In this instance the ribbon does not exclusively indicate a specific country or jeweler. While a Rosette on the ribbon mostly indicates a French or Belgium origin, but I have also come across Persian manufactured pieces with rosettes on their ribbons. Also please note that ribbons are highly subject to replacement by dealers.

Thank you!

Reviving this topic, sometimes  the case of the order of the Lion & the Sun is not rectengular and made of red velvet. Does anyone know who the maker was and for which occasions it was used?

Thanks an regards,

Pieter

Just found this thread. For me this is a very beautiful order. For quite a while I have resisted the urge to start collecting them.
