Timbales

Franz Peter Bundsen Hanoverian (German)
1780
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 683
Este esplêndido par de timbales de prata, feito em Hanôver para a Guarda Real de Jorge III, rei da Grã-Bretanha e Irlanda e eleitor de Hanôver, é estampado com o brasão real. Desde o século XVII até o século XIX, os membros da guarda a cavalo tocavam timbales cerimoniais semelhantes a estes eram acompanhados por trombeteiros que marchavam na frente da comitiva real. Muito poucos timbales chegaram até nossos dias, já que foram derretidos para recuperar os metais preciosos. Este é o mais antigo dos quatro pares feitos para os monarcas britânicos da casa de Hanôver (1714–1901). Foram também conservadas as faixas carmesim originais que cobriam a parte inferior dos tambores quando estavam em uso.
