White porcelain with gilt rims, painted sprays of flowers near the edge and, in the central well, overly busy arms in blue, black and white that David S Howard, the expert on Chinese exportware, thought were intended to convey a Jacobite message or significance. I’m doubtful about that; apart from the rose and thistle flanking the escutcheon, there isn’t anything especially Jacobite about the elements of the arms (dog, ducks, star, crescent moon, hunting horn, sabre on the shield; for crest an arm holding a boar’s head on the point of a sword). Some condition issues, so I’m not bidding

![White ground painted in red, yellow, blue and grey with two kilted Scotsmen, one with a musket and the other playing the bagpipes, in the centre of the plate, four scrollwork cartouches around the rim enclosing birds on flowering branches
Catalogue (lightly edited): 'The figures in the centre depict a piper and a private from the 42nd Regiment of Foot, a predecessor to the famous Black Watch. The source print of the piper is discussed by David Sanctuary Howard, 'Chinese Porcelain of the Jacobites - I', Country Life, January 25, 1973. Howard notes that the piper was taken from an engraving by George Brickham and published in A Short History of the Highland Regiment, London, 1743; and the private was also after a drawing by Brickham of the same date. Members of the regiment deserted the Stuart cause, and on July 18, 1743, Privates Samuel, Farquar Shaw, Malcolm McPherson were executed at the Tower for the mutiny, and a Piper Macdonnel was sent to Georgia [in America] as a convict. These men were seen as Jacobite martyrs, and memorialized on plates and punch bowls bearing these figures.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iecuzvb72xfdwlum2pc5ggj2/bafkreibtz75obrkwfzjba3ihq7kpd3o5auiuxzzjtjss6hqbp6yhtqhqiq)

Pastel portrait of the prince in gun-metal armour, blue Garter sash and Thistle jewel suspended on a ribbon, arm extended to the sitter’s right but head turned towards the viewer. White, short wig. Rather amused, almost supercilious expression in the prince’s face. By Maurice Quentin de la Tour (c1747/48), dating from the time the prince was serving in the French army and the last depiction of him not in the robes of a cardinal. This portrait was long thought to be of Henry Benedict's elder brother Charles Edward until Bendor Grosvenor conclusively demonstrated in 2009 that it represents the spare not the heir of Jacobite hopes. Sold at Christie's in 1994, now in the collection of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

Born on this day in 1725, Prince Henry Benedict Thomas Edward Maria Clement Francis Xavier of Great Britain, France & Ireland, Duke of York and ultimately King Henry IX and I in the #Jacobite succession, Cardinal and Bishop of the Roman church #OTD #c18th #c18 #18thc

A close up photograph of an antique men's jacket and waistcoat with intricate embroidery. The waistcoat is a pale silvery grey with small buttons every couple inches running all the way up the chest. It is embroidered in pastel shades of cream, white, yellow, blue, and pink. The pattern is a mix of large single blooms (perhaps roses?) and smaller groupings that look like small bouquets of wild flowers and grasses. The coordinating jacket is an open cut to reveal the waistcoat. The chocolate brown fabric is trimmed along the edges with a leaf motif followed by more of the same floral patterns as the underlying waistcoat.
Found in the Inverness Museum, this late 1700s jacket and waistcoat covered in gorgeous embroidery is said to have belonged to Bonnie Prince Charlie although the museum notes there is no provenance to prove the link.

Obverse: James in profile, elaborately bewigged, in armour with a sunburst on his breastplate, mantle over his shoulder, surrounded by the motto VNICA SALVS ('The only safeguard')
Reverse: Britannia, seated and grieving beneath a barren tree; to her right, the white horse of Hanover tramples the English lion and Scottish unicorn, with a view of London in the background and a group of figures fleeing either with their possessions or with plundered booty. Motto: QVID GRAVIVS CAPTA ('What fate worse than captivity?' and the date 1721 in Roman numerals. I say 'first minted' in that year because it is clear from the Stuart Papers that the Stuart court in Rome continued to have the Roman mint produce this and other pieces long after their first appearance (or perhaps continued to have large stocks of originals long into the century)
On eBay, #Jacobite bronze medal of 'James III' (the Old Pretender), first minted in 1721. A few knocks but otherwise in good nick #c18th #c18 #18thc

Dealer's description: 'Etching and engraving. 460 x 330mm (18¼ x 13¼"), with large margins. Small tear in margins taped, margins spotted and stained. Engraved portrait of Charles Edward Stuart, half-length, turned to right; in armour, with insignia of the Order of the Garter; in trompe l'œil masonry border, title and coat of arms.' The fact that this (and much other Jacobite material culture, notably the glassware) dates from after 1746 suggests that the defeat at Culloden was not seen at the time as the definitive end-point of the Stuart enterprise. Battered, like the masonry around the portrait, but not destroyed; the Prince did, after all, escape to the continent and might have pulled off a second attempt if he'd been able to bring the French round to his side. This print may have been part of that, as the European powers negotiated the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (which unhelpfully resulted in Charles Edward's expulsion from France).

Half-length portraits of gents in black or red coats; hair a mix of wigs, powdered and unpowdered coiffed natural hair (one bad pageboy cut with curls at the sides). Images are within ovals but the sheets are rectangular.
Five pastel portraits by William Parry (1742-1791), c1770, almost certainly members of Sir William Watkins Wynn's Cycle Club, a late, sentimentalist #Jacobite group that met at Sir William's house in Wales. At Bonhams, London, est. £3,000-5,000 #c18th #c18 #18thc

Oval plaquette in white metal with a portrait in relief of Charles I in cuirass and mantle, facing right with long hair, uncrowned. The maker's initials OB just behind the right shoulder.
To commemorate Charles, King and Martyr (executed #OTD in 1649), a portrait plaquette by John Obrisset (c1710). Owning and displaying this would have been a relatively safe way for a #Jacobite to display loyalty to Charles's exiled grandson

First page of the article: 'Bonnie Prince Charlie's Medal Set' by Jeremy Cheek.
The red morocco leather medal case, presented to King George V (I think; Cheek says VI but then refers to Queen Mary) by a descendant of Andrew Lumisden, quondam secretary to Charles Edward. Lumisden probably received it from his master, perhaps after being dismissed. (Lumisden tried unsuccessfully to restrain a grossly drunken Charles Edward from attending a public event and was sacked.) The unpierced touchpiece of 'Charles III' (exceedingly rare in any state) suggests that the group once belonged to the Young Pretender himself. His father had a similar case, which was sold in the sale of the Earl (Duke in the Jacobite peerage) of Perth in 2012. It was acquired by Lord Perth empty and filled based on the sizes of the apertures with the help of Noel Woolf, author of The Medallic Record of the Jacobite Movement. The medals were auctioned separately; the case went to the Hunterian in Glasgow. I was also a bidder and regret not getting it (I was going to donate it to the Ashmolean) but also regret bidding up the price (my maximum bid was the hammer price, but the Hunterian had placed an earlier bid at that amount and may have been prepared to go higher)
Interesting article in Coin News (March 2025) that I just came across on a group of #Jacobite medals in a leather case, now in the Royal Collection, that probably once belonged to the Stuart claimant 'Charles III' #c18th #c18 #18thc
