Four oval dressing table trinket dishes, mid 18th century, covered with pink ribbed silk similar to the previous lot, the rim and foot made from pins woven with yellow and white silk yarn, silver braid and I.B. embroidered in each centre, the largest - 5½in. (13.5cm.) wide, the three smaller - 4½in. (11.5cm.) wide (faded) - possibly part of Isabella Byne’s wedding trousseau of 1758Family history dictates that this group of dolls and textiles, lots 309 to 315, belonged to Isabella Byne, who was born in 1745 and died in 1797, aged 52. She married Ralph Carr in 1758, aged just 13. From research, it appears that Isabella had five children, including three girls: Isabella Carr, born in 1760, Annabella Carr, born in 1763 and Harriet Carr, born in 1771. Therefore it is most probable that the three dolls, dating from around 1760 and the 1780s, were purchased either for these girls or purchased and kept by Isabella as mementos of the girls. They have always passed down the female line, staying in the same family for the last 250 years: Isabelle Carr, née Byne. Harriet Cheney, née Carr – wife of General Cheney of Langley, Derbyshire and Badger, Shropshire. Frederica Capel-Cure, née Cheney - wife of George Capel-Cure. They have remained in the Capel-Cure family home, Blake Hall at Ongar in Essex, since the late 19th Century.
