A Majestic Royal lion is a symbol of Royalty, England and London. The lion wears the coronation crown, the same one that was worn by Queen Victoria to its present patron, Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The Union Jack continues with the ghosting of the St George's flag through the lion. The red cross is not only the flag of England but is also the flag to represent the City of London.
As 2012 was the late Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the year that London hosted the Olympics, this gave a significant poignancy to the Union Jack. In the present interior market, we have reclaimed our flag with pride and celebrate it in paintings, textiles and furniture.
