A rare ivory satin doublet and hose worn to the coronation of King George IV, 19th July, 1821, the doublet's front panels adorned with couched gilt threads in diamond repeats in 'van-dyke' fringed vertical bands, domed bullion covered buttons, the mancherons, sleeves and tabbed hem applied with gilt braid and lace, high stand collar, rosettes to the shoulders; with matching trunk hose, chest approx 97cm, 38in, waist 112cm, 44in (2)The lavish and expensive costumes worn by the aristocracy to attend George IV's coronation were Elizabethan/Jacobean themed to recall England's past heritage. George was held in low esteem at the time due to his treatment of his estranged wife, Caroline of Brunswick, and his attempts to divorce her. She unsuccessfully attempted to participate in the event. Parliament voted the astonishing sum of £240,000 towards the cost of the ceremony (George III's coronation had only cost £70,000) in the hopes that it would rekindle his popularity. Provenance: 2nd Earl Camden, 1759-1840, created a Marquess in 1812. CONDITION REPORT: Doublet and hose are lined in white cotton, lining is generally good condition. There are perspiration stains and splits in silk at both underarms. The doublet side seams may have been taken in, possibly a last minute alteration? Gold lace and braid is lustrous and bright. The lining has darts added to reduce volume - again possibly a last minute adjustment. Perspiration stains at underarms on lining. Breeches: generally good condition. Very slight staining to cotton lining at crotch, a few small spot stains on waistband lining, one small rear right waist button is worn. Stain to silk on far left gold strip and 2 of the front strips. Small hole in satin at crotch. Very generous size, waist is 42in.
