PROVENANCE: This service belonged to Mrs. W. Harry Brown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and London, England, and was purchased in the early 1920's from Carrington & Company, Ltd. in London, England. Mrs. Brown was the great grandmother of the current owners. Mrs. Brown was presented at the Court of St. James and was known to entertain the Duke of Windsor. She was one of the first to initiate "After Ball Breakfast Parties," where this set was used extensively, both in Pittsburgh and London. The service was also used for her elaborate Christmas Eve parties. The service was gifted to the current owners in the early 1980's by Alice Painter Thompson of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, granddaughter of Mrs. W. Harry Brown. This is noted in her handwriting on a paper label affixed to the inside cover of the flatware box.
We have just purchased this entire suite and it is now being offered for the first time since it's original purchase. . THIS SET HAS BEEN SOLD ..
