Lot Essay

Apartment 6 is the smallest grace and favour apartment in Kensington Palace. The label bears the full postcode of the palace. As the current postcode system was not introduced until 1966, the label is a relatively recent addition to the table.
Apartment 6, Kensington Palace was used as a residence for the palace chaplain from 1830-1901 and then for Queen Victoria's dresser in the early 20th century. From 1925-50, it was joined to the neighbouring apartment of the Dowager Marchioness of Milford Haven.
