Ordensdekoration aus dem persönlichen Besitz des
Fürsten Carl Alexander von Thurn und Taxis (1770 – 1827).
Gold und Emaille, an Tragebarett mit gewickelter goldener
Kette. Rückseitig breite Nadel.
Das Widderfell besonders fein ziseliert, die Flammen und der
Feuerstahl in polychromem Emaille. Der Feuerstahl noch ohne Ordensdevise.
Es handelt sich bei dieser 3-teiligen Ordensdekoration um
ein Exemplar in etwas reduzierter Größe für den täglichen Gebrauch des Fürsten.
Auf einem beigefügten Foto eines Porträts des Fürsten ist eindeutig die
Trageweise an dem hier vorliegenden Barett zu erkennen.
Das Tragen der Ordensdekoration an einer einfachen goldenen
Kette war den Ordensrittern ebenso wie die Trageweise an einem roten Band
statutengemäß für den täglichen Gebrauch gestattet.
Bedeutende, wunderschön gearbeitete, frühe Ordensdekoration vom Ende des 18., bzw.
frühes 19. Jahrhundert.
