<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 619050, member: 649"]I’ve found only a few other items on the net with the same St. George’s Chapel 1474 marked on the back. Sellers of those items state that the oak was original to the chapel which is at Windsor Castle in the U.K. I’m trying to determine when this might have been done. I found one source that said items were made from salvaged oak during a 1930s renovation and another that said it was a 1950s/60s renovation. I emailed the friends of Saint George’s Chapel a couple months ago and never heard back. Any ideas? As you can see, it’s rather crudely carved. Any thoughts on whether the carving is original or whether it was done when the oak was salvaged?</p><p>This is to be a gift for my daughter who is a fan of medieval history, particularly Richard III and the Wars of the Roses. She’s a Yorkist at heart! The construction of St. George’s Chapel was begun by Edward IV, father of Richard III. (Some sources say the construction began in 1475, others claim 1474.) I’d like to offer my daughter any known history of the piece when I give it to her. The seller had no idea, simply saying it had been used as a small collection bowl in a church.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]181045[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181046[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On a 2018 visit to the UK, a Richard III pilgrimage:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]181047[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
