專家說明

Sir Ernest Joseph Cassel (1852-1921) was King Edward VII’s financier and one of the most influential British bankers at the turn of the century. He acquired his fortune through large industrial and railway investments as well as by conducting extensive financial transactions in Europe, America and Middle East. Nicknamed ‘Windsor Cassel’, he was a very close friend of the Royal family and was introduced to Fabergé through his friendship with King Edward VII.

We are grateful to Dr Valentin Skurlov for his assistance with the research of the present lot.
