Auction Catalogue
Devonshire Yeomanry Cavalry Squadron Guidon (Georgian Period). A most rare example in painted silk 59 x 54 cm, the latter not including the 5cm fringe. In the centre a crowned strap ‘Pro Deo Rege Et Patria’ enclosing a display featuring a seated Britannia with attendant Union sprays, below, a trio of items being a bishop’s mitre cap, a silver coloured rampant lion on a red ground and a gold cross with a rampant lion in each quarter. The strap with attendant sprays of oak leaves. In the four corners, two panels showing D/YC on red ground within Union borders and two panels showing the White Horse of Hanover on a red and green ground. Now laid down on a fine hessian backing and contained in a wood and glazed frame, paint loss to one of the four panels and inevitable ageing to the plain background but otherwise in good condition for its age £1500-2000
