Sir Thomas More Chain Of Office

This is my replica of the chain of office/livery collar given by Henry VIII to Sir Thomas More.

Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, judge, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He also served Henry VIII as Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to May 1532

Consisting of 'S's; the centre of the chain with a triple, five petal, Tudor rose flanked by two Beaufort portcullises on a triskele connector.

From the portrait Sir Thomas More Lord Chancellor by Hans Holbein the Younger.

My replica is made with antique gold plating on brass.

This is a unique and hand crafted item. It measures approximately 1 metre with an extension chain so you can adjust it according to your costume.
