Britse ridderorde (The Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George), ontvangen door Willem Drees before 1958

This is the insignia of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, awarded to Willem Drees before 1958. It was crafted by Garrard & Co. and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The set consists of a badge, a star and a ribbon. The badge is a circular, gold-framed, enamelled design depicting St. Michael slaying a dragon, with the motto "Auspice Auspicium." The star is similarly gold and enamelled with an eight-pointed star, surrounded by rays. These medals exemplify the high standards of craftsmanship of Garrard & Co. and serve as a reminder of the honor bestowed upon Willem Drees, a significant figure in Dutch politics.
