Product Details

As you create, consider the centuries-old role, the grand attire, and the power vested in Black Rod.

TeaCosyFolk presents an extraordinary tea cosy; a tribute to the Opening of Parliament in timeless style. Picture Black Rod, almost audible as he knocks the rod against the old wooden door of the commons. The cosy itself is dressed in a black military-style coat, complete with buckled shoes at the front.

Grey hair, neatly gathered at the back, adds an air of authority. As the senior officer in the House of Lords, the Usher of the Black Rod exudes poise, perhaps even a touch of snootiness with a turned-up nose.

Black gloves encase the hands that wield the ceremonial Black Rod, for hammering the door. But that’s not all; Black Rod, also serving as Sergeant at Arms, wears a sword in a scabbard, ensuring order within the house.
