Curious pair of late 19th century bronze curtain hangers or hangers for curtains, featuring a medal with the effigy of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1819-1861). It is estimated that this medal may have been a commemorative object of the Great Exhibition of 1851 at the Crystal Palace.
The obverse of the medals depicts the left profile of Prince Albert, surrounded by a sort of laurel wreath, and above it, the inscription "His Royal Highness Prince Albert". They have bronze rods that serve to be installed on the wall and to hang the pieces as they separate the medal from the wall about 5 cm.
This type of medals used to be minted to commemorate important events or prominent figures, in this case the Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London in 1851. The purpose of this exhibition, devised by the Prince Consort himself, was to show the latest advances in art, engineering and science from Great Britain but also from other countries. This exhibition was a success and welcomed millions of visitors, promoting the spread of European culture and science.
