Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, by Henry Pierce Bone, 1827, Christie's images
Adolphus, 1st Duke of Cambridge (1774-1850), the seventh son of George III, was an important silver patron like his brothers the Dukes of York and Sussex. George, 2nd Duke of Cambridge (1818-1904), the only son of the 1st Duke, served for many years as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. Upon his death in 1904, the silver collection, including the present lot, was sold by Christie's.
