Royal & Regal Memorabilia

We are a family business, based in Norfolk, England.There are two partners Keith Lawson and Peter Smith and we are assisted by our wives Sandra and Carole and our daughters Heidi and Sarah Jayne. We have over 40 years experience in the antique trade. If you take Millers Price Guide, Keith name is perhaps familiar as he is also one of the world leading clock dealers, as well as appearing on TV and even having his own TV program.

We specialise in royal memorabilia from pre Queen Victoria period right up to the present day. At any one time you will find over 3000 items in our online shop. We try to cater for all tastes with prices from $4 upwards. We appreciate that collectors of royal memorabilia cover a wide spectrum of tastes, and try to have a range to suit all. So we stock modern commemoratives right through to museum quality antique items. Our shop has many bargains, our pricing policy is to put a set margin on each item, if we buy under the market price, we sell accordingly. So it fun looking for those special bargains. Everything is priced including shipping and insurance.Our website is a Wonderland for collectors as well as a great source of reference.It is at;

Understanding Condition Phrases

Some of the items we sell can be up to a 100 years old. As such, they can vary a great deal in condition. Some have been treasured, and are as the day they were made, others have been less fortunate. The condition determines our reserve. We give a condition report for every item, using the same terms as auction houses throughout the world.Please bid only if you understand and accept the condition phrases,this saves a lot of heartache on both sides.

Pristine
For an item to get this classification it must be absolutely perfect and in the condition it was on the day it was made.
Excellent
Without any damage or visible wear. Well above the condition you would expect for an item of this age.
Very Good
Above average condition, without any damage or repairs, some signs of age, but no chips, cracks or crazing.
Good
Without chips, cracks or repairs, but possibly some age, crazing or hair-line cracks. These will be noted in the description.
Fair
Still in presentable condition, but may have minor chips, cracks or crazing. These will be noted in the description.
Bargain Basement
Items described like this are damaged as noted, and are possibly suitable for restoration.

Please appreciate that the older a piece,the less chance you have of perfection,when you get back to early or pre Victoria - Very Good - is about as good as it gets :) Some china and porcelain of the Victorian period can be more crude in construction and design than the later pieces,also china and pottery commemoratives produced soon after World War II may have minor imperfections of manufacture. With the material shortages following the war, few could be rejected.

In the last year on ebay we have sold some unusual pieces, including Edward VII top hat, a water carrier from Windsor Castle and part of the bed hangings belonging to Mary Queen of Scots. But if your tastes don run to the arcane and you perhaps prefer a beautiful fine bone china cup and saucer from Queen Victoria reign or one of our exclusive limited edition Queen Mother 100th birthday pieces, they are all available in our online shop, in what we believe is the largest and most varied selection available. We also have an informative and friendly monthly newsletter emailed to all our customers, as well as a help desk to answer any questions you may have.

We sell all our Royal cards as Royal Commemoratives,not as autographs. They are sold in the spirit of which they were originally sent and accepted - As a wonderful personal token from a member of the British Royal Family.Every item is guaranteed genuine and original, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Provenance giving the history of the item.We sometimes mask the name of the person online,to respect their privacy,but it is still on the item.

It should be common sense that members of The Royal Family cannot personally hand-signed every letter and card they send out, and as the difference in price between a hand signed item and one with an autopen signature is quite significant,it is worth understanding the terms in general use to classify signatures. The terms used are generally understood and accepted by the people who buy and sell royal signed items.

If an item is described as 'Hand Signed' then it must have been signed by the hand of the person to whom it is attributed.

If it is described as 'signed' then it can be an autopen signature,but not a printed signature.

The signatures on all the Queens' cards are applied by a German machine called a "Signaturemaster".This signs in ink using a normal pen and mirrors the signature both in style and in depth contrasts.All the Queens' cards are done in this manner.The exception would be cards to members of her family and very personal friends.These are so rare that I have only seen a few come onto the market, and when they do the price is in the region of $1500.00.

The signatures on most of the Queen Mothers cards are applied by a machine called a "Signaturemaster".This signs in ink using a normal pen and mirrors the signature both in style and in depth contrasts.The exception would be cards to members of her family which never come onto the market ,and very personal friends, which are extremely rare,but occasionally come up for sale.

All Prince Charles cards are applied by a Signaturemaster,except cards to his personal friends (These never come onto the market) and to members of his private staff (These only come up on very rare occasions).

All Princess Diana cards are applied by a Signaturemaster,except cards to her personal friends (These rarely come onto the market) and to members of her private staff .These only come up on very rare occasions.

Prince Charles and Princess Diana cards often have Prince Charles signature applied by a Signaturemaster and Princess Diana's signature hand signed.This usually happened when the card was to a person who Diana knew very well.

A lot of so called experts will give different views,mine is confirmed by a senior member of the personal staff at St James's Palace.I hope that this helps you in your quest to put a collection together.We have about 75 royal cards,both hand signed and autopen on our website;
