THE PROPERTY OF A EUROPEAN PRINCELY FAMILY
(LOTS 107-114)
The following eight lots originate from the collection of Queen Olga of Württemberg, formerly at Villa Berg in Stuttgart (completed in 1854). It is possible that some of the pieces were given to Olga Nikolaievna, also Grand Duchess of Russia, by her father, Tsar Nicholas I (d. 1855), as part of her bridal trousseau on her marriage to Crown Prince Karl of Württemberg in July 1846.
