History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Sothebys: Topaz suite allegedly belonging to Princess Amelia

Good historical facts, I suspect the RC would not be interesting in acquiring this set as the reports I have read seems to purport that the collection is brimming to the top and I am sure they are jewels going back to George 111.

Regards,

Dave.

Sothebys are auctioning items belonging to the late Dowager Countess Bathhurt and amongst the items are a topaz suite of jewels which "By family tradition, left by HRH The Princess Amelia (1783-1810), daughter of George III, to her Lady in Waiting"

This may be an interesting purchase for the Royal Collection, there is very little I believe that pre-dates Queen Victoria, a couple of strings of pearls and some necklaces. Its estimate is GBP 18,000 - GBP 25,000.
