EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the United Kingdom's Order of St. Michael and St. George. The top plaque, dating back to the founding period of the Order in 1818, is a true testament to the artistry and attention to detail that went into its creation. Embroidered with gold and silver threads, crantilles, sequins, and clickers, it emanates an aura of regal elegance. On the left side of the image is a plate belonging to a knight grand cross from the early 19th century. Made from gold and silver with delicate painted enamels on ivory, this miniature masterpiece measures 9.4 cm in diameter and carries a weighty significance at 86 g. To its right stands another plate from a mid-19th-century knight grand cross adorned with diamonds alongside gold and silver accents. This dazzling piece radiates opulence while maintaining an air of sophistication within its compact size of 7.3 cm in diameter weighing approximately 80 g. These remarkable artifacts are part of a private collection by an anonymous collector who recognizes their historical value as symbols of honor and prestige within British society. Photographer Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured these extraordinary pieces for all to admire through her lens, allowing us to appreciate their intricate beauty even if we cannot witness them firsthand.
