Watercolor miniature portraits on ivory are set in frames of gold and diamonds in a Tudor rose pattern. Dating to 1835, the portraits, by a now unknown artist, depict King William IV and Queen Adelaide.
The pair was given to William IV by Caroline, Duchess of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. The set was thence bequeathed to Queen Victoria upon her accession to the throne following her uncle’s death.
