Re: The Mantle, or Pallium or Dalmatic Robe - or Robe Royal
According to Coronation Costume the Supertunica, Stole and Mantle were made for Edward VII for his 1902 coronation and exhibited in 1973 at the London Museum.
The Mantle was lined with crimson satin and richly embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework with roses, thistles, shamrocks, crowns, eagles, olive branches and passion flowers.
By the date of the exhibition the Mantle was badly tarnished and the embroidery faded.
