The enamel plaque on this powder compact may have similar origins since Cartier's archives record that the Hungarian expert, Imre Schwaiger, sourced the 'Indian box' and also negotiated other purchases for Cartier.

Sir Thomas Ingliby (c. 1290–1352) married the heiress, Edeline Thwenge in 1308/9 and acquired the Ripley Castle estate with its medieval manor house as her dowry. While hunting, their eldest son, Thomas (1310–1369), saved Edward III from being attacked by a wild boar and was duly knighted with the boar's head incorporated into the Ingilby family crest (see lots 209 and 213). Subsequent generations of the Ingilby family have survived periods of political and religious turmoil and witnessed great societal change. Today, the Ingilby family still live at Ripley Castle and have been opening it to the public since 1954.The rose-cut diamond 'M' on the hinged cover of the bangle is for the Marjoribanks family of Lees near Coldstream in the Scottish borders. The Hon. Alicia Marjoribanks (d.1916) was the youngest child of David Robertson MP., 1st Baron Marjoribanks (1797-1873) and on 26th June 1862, she married Sir Henry Day Ingilby, 2nd Baronet (1826-1911) of Ripley Castle and Harrington Hall in Lincolnshire. Her father was the Lord Lieutenant of Berwickshire and his portrait can still be found at Ripley Castle. Alicia's great uncle, Edward Robertson (1776-1868), was appointed as a partner of Coutts Bank by Thomas Coutts in 1797 and a senior partner from 1836 until his death. Alicia and Henry had two children, Henry and Mary. Within the space of a mere fourteen months between October 1872 and December 1873, both children died tragically of meningitis, aged four and nine respectively. Shortly after this, Alicia's father was run over by a horse drawn bus outside his club in Newcastle just seven days after being ennobled as Lord Marjoribanks of Lees. His sons had predeceased him and his untimely passing saw the extinction of his title. He is buried at Ladykirk and his family mausoleum is nearby at Coldstream.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Report number 124017 dated 9th August 2022.Accompanied by a report from AGL stating that the sapphire is of Kashmir origin with no indications of heat treatment. Report number 1126983 dated 17th October 2022.Sapphires from Kashmir were first discovered in the late 1870s/early 1880s high up in the snow-clad Great Himalayas of north-western India where a landslide revealed hitherto unknown deposits in a rock valley 4500m above sea level. By 1882 the Maharaja of Kashmir had taken control of the mine that could only be worked from July-September each year due to the high altitude and near perpetual heavy snowfall. Because of its remote location mining techniques were always primitive. This first mine, known as the Old Mine, was really just a series of shallow pits sunk into the rock. Apparently, the first specimens were so huge and abundant, they were studded in places as thick as 'plums in a pudding' and could be plucked from the rock. By 1887 the Old Mine was nearly exhausted and a New Mine, on the valley floor 250m below, gave up some fine sapphires but they were generally of lesser quality, size and quantity. The area was worked sporadically until the late 1920s/early 1930s but the glory years of the 1880s were never repeated.Legend says that the finest stones from this 30 to 40-year period were all acquired by the Maharaja and jealously guarded in the chambers of the Kashmir State Treasury. British geologist, Charles Stewart Middlemiss, Superintendent of the Mineral Survey of Jammu and Kashmir State from 1917 until 1930, recorded seeing some of this fabled hoard, describing the sacks of rough and cut gems as a 'king's ransom', with some sapphires the size of polo balls.Today, Kashmir sapphires set the standard against which all other sapphires are measured and are avidly sought by collectors who are prepared to pay princely sums for top-quality specimens.For further reading see, Hughes, R.
