Description

Late George III Poychrome-Decorated and Parcel-Gilt Antique Carved Wood Panel, carved with the arms of George III as used between 1801 and 1816
Carved in deep relief, the inescutcheon topped by the Electoral bonnet, with foliate mantling, a thistle and a rose, presented in a moulded oak frame.
This is a stunning carved panel and would look wonderful in any setting.
The Royal Coat of Arms used in England was altered following the Acts of Union of 1800, which united the Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland. At the same time, King George III abandoned his ancestors' ancient claim to the French throne (France had become a republic), and so the French fleur-de-lys was removed from the Royal Arms. England now occupied the first and fourth quarters, Scotland the second, and Ireland the third. After 1816, the Electoral bonnet above the inescutcheon was replaced by an Imperial crown.
