100% Unique:
Not only is this an amazing Orrefors Crystal Decanter, it comes with an impressive historical significance.
In 1982, Queen Elizabeth II, led the opening ceremony of the National Gallery of Australia. As part of this historic event, a small number of these were gifted to special VIP guests with a ice bowl which is included.
The VIP list for the official opening of the Australian National Gallery on 12 October 1982 was a carefully curated assembly of the nation's political, civic, and cultural elite. Because the opening was a formal State event, the guest list was managed by federal protocol alongside the gallery’s board.
The key figures who comprised the top-tier VIP list included:
Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Philip: The Queen was the guest of honour and officially opened the building.
International Ambassadors & High Commissioners: Senior diplomatic representatives stationed in Canberra representing Commonwealth and foreign allied nations.
Malcolm Fraser: The Prime Minister of Australia, whose government oversaw the completion of the building.
Tamie Fraser: The Prime Minister's wife, who was highly involved in official gift selections and Canberra civic life.
Sir Ninian Stephen: The Governor-General of Australia (the Queen's representative in the country).
