Description
Whether you bear the name Richard the Lionheart or simply fancy yourself a ruler of old, few crowns carry the weight and presence of this one. Forged from brass and finished with a gleaming coat of 24-karat gold plating, this crown embodies the look of regal authority. Inside, a velvet-lined foam ring cushions the head, allowing it to fit comfortably up to a size 7-¾ hat size. Crowns such as this were not merely symbols of power but were carefully crafted to be worn during ceremonies and courtly gatherings, where both the weight and comfort were essential alongside the appearance.
Fun fact: The Plantagenet Style Crown often featured fleur-de-lis and crosses in its design, symbols that reflected the dynasty’s claim to both the English and French thrones during the medieval period.
