A William IV walnut Wellington chest, of six graduated drawers with locking bracket and applied leaf carved brackets, on a plinth base 138 x 68 x 44cm (54 x 27 x 17in) Other Notes: First seen in the 1820s, the Wellington Chest was named after the Duke of Wellington's victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. These are tall, narrow chests, with usually six or seven drawers and often with a swinging locking arm which locks all the compartments with one key. The chest was one of the most well-known pieces of campaign furniture - furniture designed to be carried with ease when on army manoeuvres. There was a huge array of items which could be taken, from portable beds to collapsible candlesticks. In 1858, the Times reported that "Sir Colin Campbell's baggage &c. extended for eighteen miles, when he came down from Lucknow". A timber shrinkage crack to the top, scratches and overall fading

Grosvenor Family. A heraldic and genealogical manuscript of the Grosvenor family compiled by Richard Bertram Grosvenor, circa 1910, a total of 371 numbered pages including some blanks, the majority with genealogies and a total of approximately 350 hand-painted coats of arms in watercolour, Apologia initialled RBG at front and Grosvenor's ownership inscription with his Chelsea address in pencil to front free endpaper, a few rough notes including early draft index loosely inserted, scattered dust-soiling, all written neatly and clearly in a ruled ledger, contemporary half calf, backstrip deficient, old black linen cover, slightly soiled, folio A very detailed genealogical and heraldic manuscript. The occasional blank pages and missing or uncompleted coats of arms and index suggest that this was an unfinished work when Captain Richard Bertram Grosvenor of the 11th Battalion died of illness contracted on active service in 1921 aged 40. He had trained as an engineer and before the war worked on the designing of engines and metal testing, but also had considerable skill as a watercolour artist. In 1916 he served with the 4th Army in the Battles of the Somme, until his health broke down as a result of shell shock near Ovillers in October, when 36 of his men were killed by one shell. In spite of several attempts to carry on and serve during the war he never regained his health and spent much of his few remaining years in war hospitals and nursing homes. (1)
