This is the only surviving neck chain from the early period of the Order of the Golden Fleece.

1870/1890

The collar is modern and dates from 1900-1965. It is in silver gilt and is the proper Alpohonse XIII type. The neck decoration is c. 1900 with a sapphire in the "pierre a fois". The miniature, in gold and with original ribbon, dates from c. 1860-1890.

 
Probably created for Maximillian II, Duke and Elector of Bavaria (Spanish knight no. 718), these two gold bijous are richly set with diamonds, garnet, sapphire and ruby. They date from the mid 18th century and are probably of Bavarian manufacture.

An interesting and very early mid-17th to possibly 18th century brass-gilt bijou. It is most likely of Portugese or Spanish origin based on the design and style. Owing to the dangers of loss and cost of gold, brass-gilt and bronze-gilt fleeces were common in the 16th to early 18th centuries, especially for wear with armor.

An interesting and eccentric private Spanish Fleece Collar in gold, synthetic sapphire, enamel and cameos from the early 20th century. The collar has only 18 sets of firestones and paired fire steels and so is short of the usual 28 sets. The cameos are of late 18th century manufacture. From a European Royal House.

A late 19th century badge in gold and enamel of the greffier of the Spanish Order of the Golden Fleece. Although fleeces in various forms come to market from time to time, the badges of officials are very rare.From an European Catalog.

The miniature and chain is the daily wearing form in civilian or official undress. The Austrian miniature fleece to the right is of solid gold and excellent quality dating from the late ninteenth century. The chain, in bronze gilt, is later and of much lesser quality.

A very artistic Austrian miniature fleece in gold with the ram's head turned 3/4 left. I have seen two other miniatures with this very 3-dimensional sculpting. Early 20th century.(In the collection of the Cancelier)

A complete bijou of the Spanish Golden Fleece in silver-gilt fom the middle to late period of Alphonso XIII, most likely 1900-1930 in date.
