Description
This is one of the rarest sets available because it is 119 years old! It was produced, distributed and used prior to the event set for 6/26/1902 however…..“Their coronation day was set for 26th June 1902 and guests were invited from all over the world. However, the King suffered an appendicitis a few days beforehand and developed peritonitis: unless he postponed the coronation and had an operation immediately he would die. The King, though hugely reluctant, finally relented, and 9th August was chosen as the new date. By then he was much recovered and the service proceeded as planned. “
from Westminster-Abbey.org
There is signs of wear but, no chips, cracks or crazing . There is wear on the gold and some dots on back of the saucer of unknown origin. (See all pictures for full details)
If you know any more provenance of this set, I would be very interested…message me please.
Happy bidding!
