This listing is for one replica Imperial Russian Order of Saint Stanislaus, 1st Class Breast Star.
This reproduction is inspired by the historic Order of Saint Stanislaus (Орден Святого Станислава), originally instituted in 1765 and later associated with the House of Romanov in Imperial Russia. The design reflects the Type II period (1856–1917) and follows the classic breast star style without crossed swords.
The front features a striking eight-point breast star with clustered smooth silver-toned rays and a richly decorated central medallion. At the center is a red “SS” monogram on a white enamel-style ground. Surrounding it is the order’s motto, PRAEMIANDO INCITAT (“Rewarding Encourages”), together with gilt laurel decoration on a green enamel-style background. The reverse has a vertical pin fitting for wear, display, or collection.
This is a decorative reproduction piece only, made for collectors, display, reenactment, costume, prop, or historical appreciation.
