Household Cavalry Trumpet Banner 1801-13.
Crimson damask silk embroidered overall in gold and silver wire and coloured silks (490mm x 470mm) the latter measurement includes the gold fringe. Featuring the then new Royal Arms of Great Britain and set within an all round border of Union emblems, roses and thistles. The item is now contained in a glazed front late Victorian wooden fire screen, this has an ornamental wooden cresting which includes a gilt civilian Court Dress button of the period. The banner is laid down on a crimson damask silk background, it is probable therefore that only side of the banner exists,
there is considerable damage and wear to the embroidery and the silk ground is clearly fractured in various places, therefore fair condition £200-£240
