c1780 A full set of Mother of Pearl Gaming Counters made for
Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
Queen Consort and wife of King George III
(b19 May 1744 – d17 November 1818) was the Queen consort of the United Kingdom
as the wife of King George III.
These are three of her personal gaming counters each engraved with the Queen's Crown over her initials "CR", Charlotte Regina, with the Arms of England onthe reverse.
She was Queen for 57 years and was an avid card player; which she played for money.
For an article concerning her love of cards Click on >>> Charlotte and Cards
The counters have been scanned at 600dpi so you can admire the skill of the Chinese artisans of the 18th and 19th Century.
This set comprises a large oblong, a square and a round.
Purchased sets from Canton came boxed with 140 counters: 80 oblongs, 40 square and 20 rounds. Now it is known that Queen Charlotte had two sets of counters so the maximum number of sets of three available are 40 but we also know there are 10 in the Royal Collection,
so this offering is one of 30 sets of 3 available at the maximum.
How do these counters come to be in the public domain? Most of her collection and library was sold in 1819 for the support of her four younger surviving daughters. A few items were retained or bought back (by the Prince Regent); other pieces from her collection have been re-acquired, especially by Queen Mary hence the holding of 10 rounds and 5 oblongs in the Royal Co llection. |
