Summer 2026 - Rare Orders & Antiques

Paterson Auctioneers is pleased to present Part I of the Summer 2026 Auction, the first installment of an exceptional two-part sale featuring a carefully curated selection of orders, decorations, medals, militaria, and historical autographs from around the world. This catalogue offers an impressive range of honours spanning more than two centuries of military, civil, and royal history. Collectors will find a remarkable selection of European orders and decorations, including rare and prestigious awards from Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Latvia, Spain, France, Greece, Albania, Serbia, Russia, and many other nations. Highlights include Grand Cross sets, scarce gold insignia, early enamelled orders, distinguished military decorations, and important miniature groups of exceptional rarity. Particularly strong in continental European chivalric orders, the sale also features campaign medals, mounted groups, breast stars, and historic awards connected to significant military and political events of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Complementing the decorations are select historical documents and autographs from notable figures whose contributions helped shape world history. Many lots originate from long-established private collections and have remained off the market for decades. Whether pursuing rare imperial awards, strengthening an advanced collection, or acquiring historically significant pieces with exceptional provenance and craftsmanship, bidders will find opportunities throughout this carefully assembled catalogue. We invite collectors, institutions, and enthusiasts worldwide to participate in this important sale and look forward to welcoming you to Part II, which will continue with an equally exciting offering of orders, medals, militaria, and historical treasures. We wish all participants the very best of luck and thank you for your continued support of Paterson Auctioneers and Worldwide Medals.
