*Portugal, Order of Christ, Grand Cross (Special Class?) breast star, by Scharffenberg of Dresden, c.1859, in silver with central gold and enamel ring, set with diamonds and enamelled flowers, with cross at centre set with diamonds and rubies, sacred heart above, this also set with diamonds, rubies and emeralds, reverse bearing maker’s mark inscribed ‘SCHARFFENBERG / DRESDEN’, tiny ‘650’ silver purity mark, with reverse clasp for wear, width 81.5mm, a little light wear in places, otherwise extremely fine, and an attractive piece of very high-quality. A comparable piece by the Scharffenberg of Dresden, of precisely the same style and of very similar dimensions, was offered by Künker’s (5-6 October 2016, lot 7113), where it was given the award date of 11 May 1859 – the occasion of the marriage of Prince George of Saxony (1832-1904) to the Infanta Maria Anna of Portugal, Princess of Braganza and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1843-1884), which took place at the Belém Palace, Lisbon. The aforementioned piece, a ‘brilliant special edition’ breast star of the Order of the Rautenkrone of Saxony, was presented to the Portuguese Statesman Joao de Saldanha Oliveira e Daun, and is reported as being one of just three specially designed breast stars ‘with brilliant rays instead of the usual smooth’ made to be awarded at this specific occasion. If this information is reliable and correct, it would stand to reason, therefore, that this German-made Order of Christ may have been one of a limited number of ‘special class’ awards made specifically for members of the royal family of Saxony or of the royal court, to be awarded and worn at the very same wedding.
