Summary
A cream coloured silk tie labelled: BOWRING, ARUNDEL & Co. / 39 OLD BOND STREET.
Provenance
This memory/keepsake trunk was instigated by George Abraham Gibbs (1873-1931) at some point after the death of his first wife Victoria (Via) Florence de Burgh Gibbs (1880-1920) and before, or shortly after, he married his second wife, Ursula Lawley, in 1927. He filled it with items belonging to himself and Via, and presented it to their daughter, Doreen, who added further items to the trunk. Upon Doreen’s death in 2008, the trunk and its contents were inherited by Doreen’s daughter, Victoria Eyre.
