Foreign Orders & Decorations - Königreich beider Sizilien : Order of Saint George from the Period of the Reunification Breast Star to the Grand Cross. Silver order features a separately applied cross and a gold and enameled medallion. The reverse features a curved double pin. Order shows minor wear and minor chips to the red enamel but, overall in beautiful condition. Magnificent specimen from the foundation period of the order, around 1819 and in particularly fine, sculptural Sicilian goldsmith's craftsmanship. The medallion is constructed in three parts. This military order, founded in 1819, was only awarded rarely, especially in the higher classes. The Grand cross was only awarded to generals who had distinguished themselves during war time. The breast star of this order is one of the great rarities among the awards of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Only a few specimens are known of in in private collections. Silber, das aufgelegte Ordenskreuz und das Medaillon Gold und Emaille. An geschwungener Doppelnadel. Tragebedingte Absplitterungen im roten Emaille, insgesamt jedoch in schöner Erhaltung. Prachtexemplar aus der Stiftungszeit des Ordens, um 1819 in ganz besonders feiner, plastischer sizilianischer Goldschmiedearbeit. Das Medaillon dreiteilig gearbeitet. Dieser imJahr 1819 gestiftete Militärorden wurde vor allem in den oberen Klassen nur extrem selten ausgegeben. Das Großkreuz wurde nur an Generale, die sich im Krieg besonders ausgezeichnet hatten, verliehen. Der Bruststern dieses Ordens gehört zu den ganz großen Seltenheiten unter den Auszeichnungen des Königreichs beider Sizilien. Nur wenige Exemplare in Privatbesitz bekannt. Condition: 2
