Re: The Poltimore tiara. The lady for whom the tiara was created Archived Message Posted by Kongetro on August 14, 2018, 4:18 am, in reply to "Re: The Poltimore tiara. The lady for whom the tiara was created" Thank you very much for posting these photos and the additional information regarding this splendid tiara. Back in 2014 a video from the "Gloriana" performance was posted on the RJoTW Message Board where Barbara asked whether the tiara worn by Countess of Onslow could be the Poltimore tiara. It was then said that it was not the same. However, looking at the photo you now posted I think there cannot be any doubt that it is indeed the Poltimore tiara. So another mystery solved I just love how these grand pieces are worn by various ladies. Link to Barbara's post: http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1408005868.html Previous Message The lady for whom the tiara was created was Florence Sheridan, wife of the 2nd Baron Poltimore. She was a noted beauty and, even at the time of the 1902 coronation, the press continued to comment on her beauty. Below is the only clear photo I have found of her - published at the time of her death in 1909. I would love to see her in full evening wear with the tiara. Below is one of the many comments on her beauty - at the time of her husband's death in 1908. Message Thread: The Poltimore tiara.
