Ottoman Order of Nishani Sefkat 18K Diamonds & Rubies

Turkish – Ottoman Order of Nishani Sefkat in 18K Gold with Rubies & Diamonds. Excellent condition with perfect enamels, badge measures 70mm X 70mm not including the crescent. This order was founded in 1878 as an award to females, both Turkish and foreign. It was awarded for acts of charity, and frequently awarded to favorites of the Sultan’s harem. I found 2 on the internet one priced at $9500.00 and one at 9500 GBP.
