Lot Essay

Emma Bagnell (shown standing to the right) and Lorna Bagnell (shown seated), were the daughters of a Yorkshire family, which made its fortune in iron. Lorna married a solicitor, George Lynn and Emma married Charles Edward Keyser of Aldermaston Court, where she lived until her death in 1937. The Bagnell family was declared bankrupt circa 1890, and this family portrait as well as furniture went to Aldermaston with Emma, where it passed by inheritance in the Keyser family.
