[UNIFORMS]. Pair of Officer?s Dress Epaulettes for the Grenadier Guards. [England, ca. 1829-1840]. Beautiful and elaborately tooled shoulder decorations for an officer of the Grenadier guards, with their motto ?Honi Soit qui Mal y Pense? [?Shamed whoever thinks ill of it?] engraved onto their familiar flaming grenade medallion. Matching pair with ?Right Shoulder? or ?Left Shoulder? stamped in gilt on the inner surface. Each decoration approximately 8 x 6?. Some minor wear, toning. A fine example of this scarce and lovely decoration.
