Authentic 18th-Century Inspired Design

Each Royal Navy Admiral Epaulette is traced from the original mid-18th-century naval patterns with an excruciating attention to detail. The broad epaulettes, rich bullion fringe and dense embroidery all contribute to the traditional look of a senior naval officer. You will receive fantastic Art Prints professionally printed on premium high quality silk.

These epaulettes have hand-embossed bullion wire motifs built up across padded layers for a high definition and sculptured look. The sophisticated Admiral style is both instantly recognisable and quintessentially British naval officer.

Gold Bullion Craftsmanship

The hand embroidery is the highlight of these Admiral Epaulette's. Craftsmen form, braid, and stuff each gold bullion wire by hand to give texture that glows with light. Constructed using densely wound gold twists, the glistening bullion fringe has a rich and yet easily manipulated overall flex for ceremonial use.

This attention to detail is a reference to the history of naval tailoring where that intricately embroidered insignia stood for honour, rank and obligation. With shiny bullion and solid construction, these epaulettes are gorgeous mounted on uniform or as a wall hanger.

For Parade, Ceremony and Collections

These are service finest quality epaulettes are for ceremonial and parade wear, as part of military reenactment costume, from theatre or hundreds in a museum collection. Their accuracy and authenticity are especially appreciated by collectors. The fine gold embroidery on their gowns actually takes a great photo, so they are pretty good ornaments.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Use

In the base of epaulette, a strong backing fabric is reinforced for extra durability and long life. The gold fringe doesn't fall out and embroidery doesn’t fray with repeated use. This durability allows the team to continue ceremonial functions, reenactments and permanent display. These epaulettes are more than just decoration-they stand for tradition, British naval command, discipline and leadership.
