Our expert's notes

Elizabeth I’s (Cate Blanchett) orb and sceptre from Shekhar Kapur’s historical drama Elizabeth. Elizabeth held the monarchical symbols of power during her coronation ceremony as she became Queen of a divided England. The famous portrait “The Coronation of Elizabeth” was used as the basis for designing the props and costume for the ceremonial scene in the film.

The orb is made from metal with faux-gold banding and is heavily decorated with pearl-like beads and gems made of red and green plastic. Finished in a deep grey, a cross shape is affixed to the top with matching decoration. The gold-plated metal sceptre is adorned with embossed filigree-inspired patterns, with matching pearls and decorative gem decoration. The lot shows signs of wear from production use, including minor scratches to the sceptre, signs of corrosion on the orb and paint wear. Dimensions (orb): 19 cm x 19 cm x 30 cm (7 ½” x 7 ½” x 12”); (sceptre): 76 cm x 4.5 cm x 4 cm (30” x 1 ¾” x 1 ¾”)
