About this work

Ecru, with the coat of arms of the King of England-Hanover in the center, surrounded by the Order of the Garter (its buckle on the front and the parade side on the fly side), supported by a crowned facing leopard and a unicorn with a golden crown around its neck, from which a golden chain hangs (respectively the symbol of England and that of Scotland). Above it a helmet with an open visor, covered with a royal crown. The helmet is surrounded by symmetrical decorative foliage, which extends above the supporters. Below the coat of arms is an asymmetrical cartouche. Below the cartouche a blue scroll with: DIEU ET MON DROIT. The parade side is identical, but the supporters are mirrored.
