Edward VIII to George VI Coronation Banner
This striking banner originally created for the coronation of Edward VIII in 1937, was later modified to reflect the reign of his brother, George VI. The banner features a central crest with the royal cypher ‘GR’ within a shield, surmounted by a crown, all rendered in vibrant colours on a cream background. The modification involved removing the original ‘ER VIII’ and stitching in the ‘GR VI’ cypher, demonstrating a fascinating piece of royal history and adaptation.
Condition and Collectibility
This banner shows signs of age and use, consistent with its likely display during a significant historical period. The textile exhibits some wear and minor imperfections, adding to its character and authenticity. This rare piece would be of particular interest to collectors of royal memorabilia, textile enthusiasts, and those fascinated by the transition of power within the British monarchy.
