On his death seven years later, he left her his fortune. She went on to marry the 9th Duke of St Albans, 23 years her junior. He made no claim to her fortune and Mellon regarded herself as trustee to Coutts' daughters. She was also able to indulge her enthusiasm for silver and she patronised many of the leading silversmiths of the day.Angela Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906) was the daughter of Sir Francis Burdett, a politician, and Sophia Coutts, Thomas' daughter. She was Harriet's step grand-daughter, and on the death of her step-grandmother she became the richest heiress in England. She is said to have turned down the Duke of Wellington, and Queen Victoria made her a baroness in her own right in 1871. By the time of her death she is thought to have dispersed more than £3 million (about £300 million today) to causes ranging from housing schemes, schools and support for refugees to the bells for St Paul's Cathedral.

She was born as Princess Augusta Wilhelmina Louisa of Hesse-Kassel, the third daughter of Prince Frederick of Hesse-Kassel, and his wife, Princess Caroline of Nassau-Usingen. Augusta married her second cousin, HRH Prince Adolphus Frederick, Duke of Cambridge (1774 - 1850) twice, firstly at Kassel on 7th May and secondly at Buckingham Palace on 1st June 1818. Adolphus was the tenth child and seventh son of King George III and Queen Charlotte. It is believed that Augusta acquired these vegetable dishes during her widowhood and commissioned her cypher ‘AC’ (Augusta Cambridge) to be engraved, ensigned by the Royal coronet of a son of the Sovereign, as was her right as a wife/widow of a son of the Sovereign. Thereafter, these dishes came into the household of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, most possibly as a wedding gift upon the marriage of Adolphus and Augusta’s eldest daughter, HRH Princess Augusta Caroline of Cambridge (1822 - 1916) to Frederick William, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1819 - 1904) and were engraved thereafter with the arms of the Grand Duchy.

SIMMONS 7 ST ANNE'S SQ MANCHESTER (case A/F)Provenance: From the estate of the late Barry Lock (1934-2021)Given the date of hallmarking, the decorations and embellishments, on the balance of probability and without any evidence to the contrary this set may well have been a presentation piece to H.R.H. Prince Albert, the Prince Consort on the occasion of his visit to Liverpool for the official opening of the Royal Albert Dock - named in his honour, on 30th July 1846. This was the first time that a member of the Royal Family had made an official visit to Liverpool and there were major celebrations to mark the occasion, including a lavish party at which Prince Albert was guest of honour. The hypothesis is that the Prince Consort undoubtedly received many gifts at that time and this personalised knife and fork may have been used and subsequently gifted to him on the day.Chawner and Company were suppliers of silverware to Garrard & Company who, in turn, were appointed official Crown jewellers in 1843. During the mid 19th century, Garrard were one of the leading producers of elaborate presentation silverware, such as this example.The silver blade has subsequently been replaced (the original might well have been steel), probably by the retailer, who was active circa 1860 - circa 1905, and the fitted case was possibly made at that time.
