C is for Cumberland
The collection of treasures we currently have here at Koopman Rare Art that at one time graced the tables and sideboards of The Palace of Herrenhausen in Hanover inspired me to focus on the plate owned by this remarkable character Ernest Augustus Duke of Cumberland and later King of Hanover. To this day, both major institutional and private collections consider items with this provenance amongst the most important within their collections; not only for the fine quality and provenance of the items but the remarkable story they tell. We are very proud to present five triumphs of the decorative arts that were part of his collection and help paint a better picture and understanding of the majesty of this period and the incredible heights achieved by the royal goldsmiths competing to lure that next glorious commission.
