The silk ground is sound and shows no shattering, with expected age-related darkening but no losses. All major embroidered elements are intact, including the Lion of England, both crown finials, the Roman numeral IV, the central royal cypher on the regimental colour, and the embroidered battle honours and caption. The silver and gilt bullion work is substantially complete, with minor lifting of metallic thread at the flag edges consistent with age. The bullion tassels at the King's Colour staff are intact, and the tassels at the regimental colour staff are partially intact. The bullion fringe along both flags is present and substantially intact across both flags. The oak frame is structurally sound and retains its original gilt-painted slip with wear and minor loss to the gilding consistent with age. The glass shows period-appropriate imperfections. The pine board backing shows splitting between boards and minor loss at the top edge, with the original hemp hanger and partial newsprint dust seal still in place. Minor surface dust under glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51335873036566,"sku":"AMD-03078","price":1485.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/EnglandCrates-2387.jpg?v=1779585442","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/embroidered-silk-kings-own-regimental-colours","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
