The Greater George Garter Badge Eighteenth Century, English Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies, Amethysts, Silver and Gold The Royal Collection Queen Charlotte had her hands full with her husband, King George III. Perhaps this is why she preferred to stay by herself at Buckingham House (now Buckingham Palace) while George rattled around on his own. George had shown signs of mental decay for quite awhile before his rumored “madness.” Evidence of that is chronicled in an account from 1805 wherein George III became quite distressed before the annual Installation of the Knights of the Garter on St. George’s Day. You see, in 1804, King George III had asked that the important garter jewels be stored away for safekeeping. He wanted them to be so safe, in fact, that he had hidden them away himself. By 1805, he couldn’t remember what he’d done with them. It seems, he should have asked his wife. The missing “Greater George” was found in 1819 upon the death of Queen Charlotte. George III had brought the jewels to Buckingham House for safekeeping—perhaps unbeknownst to his wife. This magnificent garter badge was found in a drawer in the Queen’s bedroom when her possessions were being inventoried for auction. “The Greater George” is of unknown provenance, but most likely dates to the Eighteenth Century, having been made by an English jeweler. Clearly, the piece has been altered over time. It features a diamond-encrusted figure of St. George which is highlighted by rubies and sapphires. The impressive fleur-de-lis of large, brilliant-cut diamonds at the top is a later addition—added in an attempt to make the large piece a little less cumbersome to wear. These days, The Greater George is guarded and its owners know exactly where it is.
When it looked as if one of Scotland’s most impressive historic homes and its valuable contents would be sold at auction, the manor needed a hero to preserve its heritage. Wearing a crown rather than a cape, the Prince of Wales stepped in to save this eighteenth-century treasure. Set on 2,000 breathtaking acres amid the - Page 4

About Memphis-inspired asymmetric sculptural lounge chair with unique tri-color design and acrylic legs designed by Charles Hollis Jones. About Charles Hollis Jones: Born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1945, Jones moved to Los Angeles, California at the age of 16, founding Chj Designs. At the time, acrylic and plastic were not commonly used as a material for upscale furniture and art, but Jones began creating pieces for showrooms, such as Hudson-Rissman.[1] His work was well-received. Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and Johnny Carson were among some of the first to commission Jones to design pieces for their homes. An aging Tennessee Williams commissioned Jones to design a writing chair: The result was the Wisteria chair. In the 1970s Jones crafted his award-winning Edison Lamp. Using original Thomas Edison light bulbs, Jones created a lamp with steel and Lucite to show the inner workings of Edison's original technology. It won him the California Design 11 Competition and special recognition from the German government.[2] His work has been featured in several museums, including the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California,[3] and The Los Angeles Times has referred to him as a "Pioneer in acrylic design."[citation needed] Jones resides in the Burbank area of Los Angeles and is still designing furniture and accessories. He designs awards, including the sculpture for the 2008 Golden Heart Award held at the Beverly Hills Hotel to honor Clancy Imislund for his contributions to the Midnight Mission.
