Rd. Nos. 100207/208 Stembridge & Co.
« on: October 03, 2017, 03:16:58 PM »
In recent months there was a post relating to Rd. 100208, but I've now forgotten where, when or who - just that I had a note to research both Nos. when I was next at The National Archives.
Here then are photos of both original factory drawings from 14th May 1888 - an epergne and a cornucopia - perhaps someone will recall the date of the original post, and these can then be combined.

Could have been this, Paul:

or this

But thank you for showing both the design representations anyway.

P.S. I've never seen photos of an actual example of RD 100207 - the chances of such an intricate piece surviving intact must be pretty slim.

Fred.

thanks Fred  -  well, at least we now have the Kew pix for reference.               Some of these centre pieces do survive  -   apart from their demise due to fragility, their present existence or otherwise may also be dependent on how many were made in the first place, and we've probably no idea of that.          In the flesh some of them can be very striking - often in opalescent cranberry, ditto greens etc.

I also have the other Greener pix from Kew we discussed - hope to post tomorrow.
