Theodore Alexander and Charles, 9th Earl Spencer collaborated together for 14 years to create The Althorp Living History Collection. The collection contains reproductions from the Althorp Estate, the Spencer family’s ancestral home of 19 generations of British nobility. In the Fall of 2018, Lord Spencer unveiled many of these pieces for a charity event in Highpoint, NC:

“The Althorp Living History Collection captures the extraordinary ancestry of 500 years of Spencer family tradition...Each piece brings to life generations of memories and embodies centuries of Britain’s most treasured craftsmanship.”

Overall very good estate condition; the lower case with scuffs to front corners; slant lid with slight rubbing above loper areas.

Note this lot is of substantial weight and size; it is the buyer's responsibility to remove from Leland Little premises; furthermore, Leland Little staff are unable to assist in the loading of this lot.
