A SILVER-GILT COUNTESS' CORONET
A SILVER-GILT COUNTESS' CORONET, C.J. VANDER LTD., LONDON, 1936
the matted ground circlet chased with 'jewels' below a corded border surmounted by eight strawberry leaves between the stalks of the silver 'pearls', with white fur trim simulating ermine, the red velvet cap with gold thread tassel, white silk lined with printed gilt label for Ede & Ravenscroft, 17cm diameter; together with a gilt-metal and silvered Count's coronet, 20th century, oval, with sixteen 'pearls' on stalks above the circlet with 'jewels', 24cm wide; and a small electroplate crown, 19th century, probably from a figure of a saint, with red velvet cap, 14cm high
(3)
Provenance: Robin Ian Evelyn Stuart de la Lanne-Mirrlees (Grinnell-Milne), Comte de la Lanne-Mirrlees, titular Prince of Incoronata, Scottish Feudal Baron of Inchdrewer and Laird of Bernera (1925-2012)
Presumably the Countess' coronet was ordered for Edward VIII's anticipated coronation, scheduled for May 1937 (but not by de la Lanne-Mirrlees, who must have acquired it later). The renowned ceremonial outfitters, Ede & Ravenscroft, claim to have supplied robes and regalia for twelve coronations.
