Historic Tablecloth used for Royalty coronation
Tablecloth used for coronation (California)
OK this probably not the place to post an item like this but you never know. It was est value at the hungarian national museum was $12,000,000.00 back in 1990, But since museums do not buy things and I am in no position to donate this item I am selling it for a fair price, will entertain offers, It will probably sell to someone who loves history and royalty. This is the tablecloth with napkins that was used for English Royalty to the Queen of Bohemia to the Eszterhazy Hungarian Royals to the Habsburgs to the coronations of Franz Joseph to many Royal weddings. Entertaining offers, will consider a little trading for items i want. The Coat of Arms has many things incorporated with it, from the chesholm clan of scotland to the royals of England to the Polish Royalty to Queen of Bohemia to the Habsburgs to Hungarian Royalty. You will never see such detail and so many things sewn into this masterpiece, its a big item. No worn areas, no soft areas, its in wonderful shape. Could be framed in a large high room and the napkins can be in smaller frames on the wall. I will be moving back to Europe so will be selling many things, from art to interesting items to some of my classic cars. I collect very old books and art and silver or any noble metal gold. I can also trade up if its something incredible. Not everyday can you own such a grand historic item that was used by the holy roman empire. Serious Only Please, Please no wasting anybodies time.
It was also posted nowhere near Hungary, England, Bohemia, Scotland, Poland, or Hapsburgia. What’s that you say? There IS no such place as Haspburgia? I say it’s just as believable as the REST of this ad. Plus, “Hapsburgia” is objectively a fun word to say.
Still, I’d kind of like to see this coat of arms. If it combines elements of the coats of arms of the Esterhazys, England, Poland, Bohemia, Scotland, Clan Chesholm, and the Holy Roman Empire, not to mention the Hapsburgians, then at the very least it’s going to have to contain a griffon, a lion, a unicorn, an eagle, another lion, a double-headed eagle, any number of random crowns and stripes, a few more random lions and unicorns, the golden fleece, and a pig’s head on a stick. (I am not making this up.)
This thing must be enormous. Then again – if it was used by the entire Holy Roman Empire, that’s a lot of people to sit at one tablecloth. Even if you’re just serving them Hapsburgers and fries.
Thanks for the post, Camille!
