Comments:
There is no name nor reference woven on the reverse of this bookmark. The design, size and quality though would make this ribbon a pair with His Majesty King Edward VII {recorded as gb732}, and that has been identified in Mark Cottrill's 2012 self published picture book: The Silk Weavings of William Henry Grant as being a GRANT weaving.

There is evidence that there used to be a pin attached below the reverse top turnover, so this ribbon could be worn as a favour.

There is also a great deal of similarity to the following ribbons:
 
Coronation 1902 / Their Imperial Majesties / King Edward VII Queen Alexandra (rose & thistle) {recorded as gb270}
 
Coronation 1902 / Their Imperial Majesties / King Edward VII Queen Alexandra (bow in ribbon) {recorded as gb274}
 
His Majesty / King Edward VII / Long Live The King (lapel badge) {recorded as gb732}
 
Their Imperial Majesties / King Edward VII - Queen Alexandra / CROWNED AT / WESTMINSTER 1902 {recorded as gb2530}
