- A guaranteed genuine half inch strand of George III's hair
King George III reigned for just under 60 years between 1760 to 1820.
His reign saw an expansion of the British Empire, as well as the loss of its North American colonies, and the defeat of Napoleon at the head of a resurgent France.
Towards the end of his rule he endured a period of mental illness, with his son taking control as regent.George was a keen patron of Science and Agriculture, often portrayed as a man of the people in contrast to his flamboyant heir George IV.
Superb provenance; the hair originates from the famed collection of Margaretta Pierrepont, wife of President Ulysses S Grant’s Attorney General. Gifted by the king to Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst in 1814.
