Italian Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus – Grand Cross Complete Set

An impressive complete ceremonial interpretation of the Grand Cross of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, one of the most distinctive historic orders associated with the House of Savoy and the Kingdom of Italy.

The set combines a broad deep green ceremonial shoulder sash, an elaborate folded bow, a crowned Grand Cross badge and a matching silver-tone breast star.

The suspended badge features the order’s instantly recognizable combination of a white trefoil-ended cross superimposed over a dark green cross. Gold-tone borders and an ornate royal crown complete its striking formal appearance.

The matching breast star presents the same white-and-green insignia over an impressive silver-tone radiating star. A traditional long pin fastening is fitted to the reverse.

A Historic Italian Order

The combined Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus dates from 1572 and became closely connected with the House of Savoy. It later formed an important part of the ceremonial tradition associated with the Kingdom of Italy.

Its distinctive green-and-white crosses are among the most recognizable designs in Italian chivalric insignia.

As the order’s highest grade, the Grand Cross was distinguished by an elaborate formal presentation incorporating a broad sash, suspended badge and breast star.

Designed for Historical Collections

The strong contrast between the deep green sash, white insignia, gold-tone crown and silver-tone breast star makes this a particularly impressive display set for collectors of Italian royal, dynastic and European orders.

This is a modern collector-made reproduction intended for historical collecting, display, educational use, reenactment, theatre and photography. It is not an original period-issued decoration.
