Early 20th Century 18ct Gold & Enamel Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights Badge Pendant

594Y/PR
26 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

The Wheelwrights, independently of the Coachmakers made a separate petition for incorporation and on 3rd February 1670, Charles II granted the Wheelwrights a Charter.

The Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights became, in order of precedence, the sixty-eighth Livery Company of the City of London. After receiving the Charter the Wheelwrights Company carried on the work of the former Guild but the legal status of the Charter enhanced its power and gave it the right to make its own bye-laws and thus govern the operation of the trade. The jurisdiction of the Company covered all wheelwrights working in the City itself and a five mile radius outside.

This 18ct gold large pendant was made by the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company. It has been enamelled in red, yellow, white, and blue and features two rearing horses supporting the wheelwrights crest with helmet and an arm holding a hammer above. The motto is “God Grant Unity”.

on the reverse is engraved The Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights in appreciation of his able services as Master 1927.
