* Equestrian. A large horse blanket made for Horace St Paul, Austria, circa 1759, large shaped blanket designed for the back of a horse, with a pair of buckles and leather straps to fasten around neck (part of one strap missing), and leather straps to fasten to a crupper at the back, elaborately embroidered and appliquéd on a thick crimson wool ground, with circular coat-of-arms of Horace St Paul in centre, surmounted by a count's coronet, against a military trophy, count's coronet repeated on sides atop a decorative monogram, a number of small holes (largest 3.5 x 3.5 cm), one crudely partially repaired, some light marks, edged all round with a double row of velvet braid (worn and threadbare, 20 cm section missing), backed with hessian, approximately 169 x 167.5 cm (66.5 x 66 ins)QTY: (1)NOTE:A most unusual and impressive large textile, and an apparently rare survival; we have not been able to trace another similar. Unlike a shabraque, this blanket, with it's large central armorial, appears not to have been intended for use with a saddle. It may have had a ceremonial use, at a parade or funeral for example, or may simply have been both a practical item and status symbol, its function to keep the horse warm whilst declaring the opulence of the owner's stables. Horace St Paul (1729-1812) would almost certainly never have been granted this coat of arms had he not been forced to flee England after killing a man in a duel. In 1751, whilst a law student of 22, he fell out with an older gentleman named Mr Dalton over the favour of a lady. The two men fought a duel at Dalton’s home, whereupon a servant, hearing the sounds of fencing, found his master dead in the parlour. On being ordered to stand trial for wilful murder Horace fled the country, first to France, then to Brussels, where he became acquainted with Prince Charles of Lorraine, Governor-General of the Austrian Netherlands and brother-in-law of Maria Theresa, the Empress Queen. On the outbreak of the Seven Years War in 1756, Prince Charles returned to Austria as one of the principle military commanders, with Horace as his aide-de-camp. St Paul obviously displayed some of the fearlessness he had shown in his youth: on 20th July 1759, he was created a Count of the Holy Roman Empire for 'having devoted himself to arms, and having followed the Royal-Imperial Standards in the last two Campaigns at his own expense, and having therein displayed pre-eminent fortitude and proved beyond doubt his soldierly valour and his exalted zeal in the arts of war…'. A Royal Pardon was granted to Horace in 1765, and he returned to England, purchasing the (now derelict) estate of Ewart Park from his brother in 1775, and completely redesigning the house and grounds. Horace was appointed Secretary of Embassy to the Court of France (1772-1776), and then Envoy to Sweden (1776-1777), before retiring from diplomatic life.
