EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of British history - the United Kingdom Order of the Thistle plate. Manufactured by R &s Garrard & Co in London during the late 18th century, this exquisite plate is adorned with an array of precious materials including gold, silver, diamonds, emerald, amethyst, and enamels. Measuring at a modest height of 9.4 cm and width of 8.3 cm, this small yet significant object holds great weight both literally and symbolically as it weighs approximately 88 grams. Currently held within a private collection by an anonymous individual, its beauty and historical significance are undeniable. The United Kingdom Order of the Thistle plate represents an honorary decoration bestowed upon individuals who have made exceptional contributions to Scotland or the nation as a whole. Its intricate design reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of R &s Garrard & Co. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Luisa Ricciarini, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the artistry but also the cultural importance attached to such objects. This image serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant items can hold immense value when they embody centuries-old traditions and represent esteemed honors within society.
