SWE - Řád královny Kristýny zvaný Řád Amarantový

Queen Christine (1626-1689) ranks rightly up there with the big vladařek. After the difficult to understand the abdication and conversion to the catholic faith, to Christine settled permanently in Rome. Here she founded a rich scientific library. She lived surrounded by friends and great scholars of that time. In the "eternal city" also died and is buried in the church of ss. Peter.

Amarantový the order of the ranks to the somewhat vague and the specific Swedish laws. In addition, there was a long time. The very foundation of the order shall apply to the reminder of gallant meeting the queen of england to the Spanish envoy Pimentellim in the year 1653. Rendezvous took place in water mill on behalf of AMARANTE. According to another version held each on the thirteenth day of the month at the justice of the fancy dress ball, which now, in the year 1653 acquired the theme and character of the festivals of the gods, in Arkadii. Pimentelli then represented the god Mars and the queen was among his entourage přestrojená for pastýřku Amaranth. After the end of the was based the order for this group of friends and milců (LA FRAIRIE DAMARANTE). Member of the order could become just a member of the famous and selected an elite club, which is, however, at the same time, he was not allowed to marry or get married.

Řádová decoration should be in its the middle of the bases against each other, built two golden "And" bedecked with gems, around was zelěný enamel wreath with order password DOLCE NELLA MEMORIA " . Řádová decoration they wore on the red band. The order lapsed the year 1654. Restored it to Gustav III. as purely a women's procedure, but the proposal was not implemented.

In 1991, he was in Brno at the auction Signum auctioned off by mr In. Měřičkou Amarantový procedure, which is currently exhibited in the National museum in the collection of the Swedish orders of magnitude. In this case, on the order of magnitude of the turn 18.and 19.century, which we can arrange to societal laws, or rather, in this case to the masonic deathbed.

It comes on a golden cross with balls at the tips, on the center label are once again against each other to built two "a" And the outer ring of the copy of the "MEMORIA meal with a local honey". On the back side of the label is on two lines date:

D.6 Januarii 1653 / D.24.Julia 1760

The order is worn on the left side of the body on the amarantově red moireé band, on both sides of the vroubené green strips. Our leading connoisseur of not only european order, mr In. Měřička knew that this is an extraordinary matter. Bought the order of the devoted as a whole collection for the need of study of the National museum. Interested it here can see with my own eyes. Currently, the two crosses of a similar type offer for the specialised dealer of the order and vyznamení in Paris. The images are provided from this seller. The kindness of mr. Patrice Reboul is, and we can get acquainted at least with the pictures of this interesting - decoration.

Here, the shown specimen is a cross gild in the fire. The size of the cross is a 4x4 cm, but there are also crosses somewhat larger about the size of a 5,5x5,5 cm.The ribbon is original and is almost identical with the ribbon of the Saxon order of Ernestínského.A cross of this size is in the National museum in Prague in the collection of mr In.And. Měřičky..

Warning :

Order Amarantový , which is in the original quite rare and not very known even to collectors , who addressed the issue of "the nordic states" is currently appearing as a beautiful enameled specimen.

The kindness of colleagues Smýkala, which was this supposedly "rare" original offered I could meet with novodělem code, which is just a stupid copy. Now the ribbon , noting that there will be something wrong. It is completely out of character and color not far from does not correspond to the above described procedure.

The cross is introduced here first in the women's ribbon and on the ribbon velkokříže. Perhaps the astute observer can tell that the size of the crosses is the same. This procedure is offered to traders and there is even on the website of the Russian and Polish "Aukra"

Na polských stránkách Allegro se v srpnu roku 2009 objevila nabídka :


Švédský řád Amarantový .


Vyvolávací cena 199 zlotých a s následující legendou :


Dekorace švédského řádu Amarantu je znakem dámské (ženské ) zednářské organizace ( lože ) , která byla založena v roce 1873 . Členky řádu se snaží navazovat na starý švédský řád , náplň práce řádu není známa . Dámy při vstupu však musí prokázat plnoletost .


V roce 1860 James B. Taylor z Newark v Nev Jersey na základě opět právě tohoto řádu založil spolkovou organizaci či zednářskou loži . I tato organizace je jen spolkem a vyvíjí jistou spolkovou činnost . Pokud však hovoříme o zednářských ložích , či zednářském řádu , ani zde nejde o klasickou dekoraci „Svobodných zednářů „ tak jak ji známe ze starších pramenu 17-20 . století .



Popis dekorace:


Jde o zlacený (eloxovaný ) kříž , který je tvarově identický s řádem Amarantu . Plocha kříže je však bíle smaltovaná . Na polském Allegru byl tento „velkokříž „ nabízen ve vyvolávací ceně 199 zlotých .


Ve své podstatě , jde o nepochopení zásad a základu faleristiky . Můžeme však hovořit o spolkové dekoraci či odznaku . I u nás máme takové nešťastné dekorace , např. Řád Sv. Václava či Rytíři raketového vojska , ale i mnoho dalších odznaků . Nic proti tomu , jen je nutno uvádět správný název . Vždy jde jen a jen o spolkovou dekoraci .
