The Most Noble Order of the Garter, K.G., an early 19th Century Knight’s embroidered Garter, silver-gilt wire on blue silk, the plain gold buckle with polished steel pin, 47cm overall, worn in parts but generally presentable and good condition for age £500-£700

Sold with a rather tenuous but entirely plausible note of provenance to the Duke of Wellington (Knight of the Garter 1813-52), who would have worn and used a good many such Garters during his life. Another very similar example is known with provenance to his valet, John Mugford.
