Introducing a remarkable set featuring the two Sovereign's Sceptres, used in the coronation ceremonies of British Monarchs at Westminster Abbey:
-
The Sovereign's Sceptre with the Cross - Crafted for the coronation of Charles II in 1661, this sceptre has been an integral part of every coronation since. Remodelled in 1910, it now showcases the First Star of Africa, the world's largest diamond weighing a staggering 530 carats.
-
The Sovereign's Sceptre with the Dove - Symbolising the Sovereign's prerogative of mercy, this sceptre has been carried since the coronation of Richard I in 1189. The dove represents the Holy Ghost. Made in 1661 for the coronation of Charles II, this sceptre remains nearly unchanged and has been used in every coronation ever since.
Immerse yourself in the grandeur of these miniature replicas, meticulously cast in fine English pewter and beautifully plated. Enclosed within a presentation box, they capture the regal essence of the original Sovereign's Sceptres.
