1727 Coronation Fleur Fleur De Lis Jewels Monarch Monarchs Monarchy Sovereign Sovereignty
EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent print showcases the Imperial State Crown of King George II, which was used during his coronation on October 11, 1727. This crown, which was originally George I's state crown, underwent significant modifications for George II's coronation. The arches of the crown were pulled upwards, creating a more vertical design, and were surmounted by an impressive array of 440 brilliant-cut diamonds. The fleur-de-lis and cross-patee motifs adorn the crown, with two large pendants and two heart-shaped brilliants fixed on the top. The Imperial State Crown is a symbol of the sovereignty and power of the monarch, and this stunning image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of a British monarch's coronation ceremony. The Imperial State Crown has been a part of the British monarchy's coronation ceremonies since the reign of King Charles II and continues to be used to this day during the State Opening of Parliament. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd, provides a captivating and historic record of this iconic royal regalia.
