The Classic Look of Gold Laced Rank Regiment British and French Military Bullion Fringe Epaulette 1810

Military uniforms have always had a special meaning. They show honour, tradition, and pride. One of the most eye-catching parts of a uniform from the early 1800s is the Gold Laced Rank Regiment Bullion Fringe Epaulette. These shoulder decorations were worn by officers in both the British and French armies. They were a big symbol of rank and respect.

At Hand Embroidered UK, we create detailed reproductions of these historical pieces. Our epaulettes are made by hand using traditional techniques and high-quality bullion wire. Whether you are a collector, reenactor, costume designer, or simply love military history, our epaulettes bring the past to life.

What is a Bullion Fringe Epaulette?

An epaulette is a shoulder piece attached to a military uniform. It was used mainly to show the rank of an officer. The bullion fringe is made from twisted metal wire, usually gold or silver, and hangs down from the end of the epaulette.

In the year 1810, during the Napoleonic era and the rise of the British Empire, these epaulettes were very common. Officers from both the British and French armies wore them during formal occasions and battles. The richer the design, the higher the rank.

British and French Military Styles

Although Britain and France were enemies in many wars, their military uniforms shared some features. Both countries used gold lace and bullion fringe to decorate officers’ uniforms. These details were not just for style—they showed the exact rank and status of the soldier wearing them.

Our handmade epaulettes follow those traditional designs closely. The shape, size, colour, and fringe are all carefully crafted to match the 1810 style. They are made with:

• Strong gold lace on the edges
  
• Thick bullion fringe
  
• Firm shoulder support
  
• Proper colour tones and patterns
  
• Durable backing for long life
  

We make sure every detail looks just like it would have in the early 19th century.

Who Uses These Epaulettes Today?

Our epaulettes are not just for history lovers. Many people and groups use them today:

• Historical Reenactors – People who take part in events dressed as soldiers from the past.

• Collectors – Uniform and military history collectors often look for high-quality replicas.
