King Edward Memorabilia
King Edward memorabilia is in high demand along with all Royalty memorabilia. Not only King Edward VIII, but all the other King Edward memorabilia down to King Edward I, which we have had and provide an example below, along with all the other prices realized of King Edward memorabilia:
Lovely Lacloche Freres case gifted by King Edward VIII. Rectangular case in gold tone metal features a thin horizontal striping with black enamel. Hinged case opens with a 9-diamond clasp to reveal Edward’s inscription, ”Out of sight out of mind? / Edward”. The front of the case features the applied crest of the 8th King’s Royal Irish Hussars, a cavalry regiment in the British Army, decorated in green enamel. Case bears the stamp of Lacloche Freres, the French assay mark and the British import mark for 1922. Measures approximately 3.25” x 1.75” x 0.25”. An excellent example of King Edward memorabilia. Near fine. Provenance from Sotheby’s. Sold for $17,840.
Incredibly scarce vellum document from the final few months of King Edward I’s controversial reign. Edward I has been both praised and criticized by historians, the latter largely for his Edict of Expulsion in 1290, which expelled Jews from England for most of the Middle Ages, until 1656 when the edict was reversed. This document, written in Latin, is also intriguing as it grants a Bishop the right to transfer property to St. Leonard’s Hospital in York, despite a law barring clerics from holding or transferring land. Document gives Walter Langton, the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, license to legally transfer half a bovate of land in Pykhale [Pickhill], Yorkshire to the ”master and brothers” of St. Leonard’s Hospital in York. Eleven lined vellum document is datelined Carlisle, 4 April 1307. Measures 12.25” x 8.5”. Ink notations to verso with some creasing and staining. Tears and scattered pinholes. Our earliest example of King Edward memorabilia. In exceptionally well-preserved condition. Sold for $14,351.
