Footnotes. Provenance: Collection of Maharajah Ranjit Singh & Maharani Jindan Kaur. Sold by Frazer & Haws from Garrards, Regent Street, London. The necklace has been in the same family for at least three generations, from a local family of Title. Two similar necklaces from the Lahore Court, retailed by Frazer & Haws from Garrards, in similar fitted cases with identical inscriptions appeared at auction. One at Bonhams Islamic & Indian Art (Lot 366 on 8th October 2009) and the other at Christie's (Magnificent Mughal Jewels, London 6th October 1999, Lot 178). Between 1849 and 1850, when the British took control of the Court in Lahore, they entered the Treasury, where they found the court jewels wrapped in cloth. The Treasury was fabled to be the greatest and largest treasure ever found. The most famous and well known jewels were taken away as gifts for Queen Victoria, including the Koh-i Noor and the Timur Ruby. Confiscated treasures were sold by Messrs. Lattie Bros. of Hay-on-Wye in the Diwan-i-Am of the Lahore Fort. The items were listed in seven printed catalogues and the sale took place over five successive days, the last one starting on 2nd December 1850. It is also known that some jewels were boxed in Bombay by Frazer & Haws and were sent to London, where they were sold by Garrards, who were said to have a secret list of the jewellery, the contents of which has not been made public. From the boxing, this would have been done after the Maharani's death CONDITION REPORT The necklace is from a local family of Title. I have asked them what they know about it's provenance and they have asked around the family and all confirm that it has been in their family for at least four generations but do not know how it came into the family. General condition is very good. Enamel on the pendants in good condition- enamel on the clasp is damaged around the edge- one pearl is detached. The earrings have been later converted to earrings from pendants
