EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite dressing case, a cherished wedding gift to Princess Victoria (Vicky) of Kent upon her marriage to Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1858, showcases the opulence and elegance of the royal wedding. The intricately designed case, manufactured by Mr. West of St. James Street, was a bespoke creation, reflecting the high standards of craftsmanship prevalent during the Victorian era. The dressing case, with its mirror and glass tabletop, was adorned with an array of luxury accessories. The brushes, crafted from the purest ivory, were the epitome of refinement and sophistication. The combs, fashioned from the finest tortoiseshell, added a touch of warmth and richness to the set. The bottles, made of opal glass, were not only functional but also added a decorative element to the dressing case. The Princess's dressing table, a place of personal grooming and preparation, was a space where she could retreat and indulge in the finer things in life. The dressing case, with its handcrafted accessories, was the perfect addition to this intimate and private space. The Duchess of Kent, as the bride's mother, presented this thoughtful and beautiful gift to her daughter on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Fritz of Prussia. The Princess, who would go on to become the Empress Frederick of Germany, cherished this gift throughout her life, a reminder of her mother's love and support on her journey into married life. This stunning dressing case, with its timeless design and luxurious materials, is a testament to the attention to detail and craftsmanship that was expected of the best wedding gifts during the Victorian era. It remains an enduring symbol of the beauty, elegance, and love that surrounded the royal wedding of Princess Victoria and Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1858.
