Description

  • Important service à condiments Warwick en vermeil par Samuel Wood, Londres, 1744, gravé aux armes Rothschild

  • Les armes sont celles des Rothschild et des Cohen, peut-être pour Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836), fondateur de la maison de banque, qui épousa en 1806 Hannah Barent-Cohen (1783-1850), ou, plutôt celles de leur quatrième fils, le baron Mayer Amschel de Rothschild (1818-1874), de Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, qui épousa en 1850 sa cousine Juliana Cohen. Leur fille unique Hannah (1851-1890) épousa en 1878 Archibald Philip Primrose, 5e comte de Rosebery.

    Ce modèle de service à condiments porte le nom de Warwick depuis la fin du XIXe siècle en raison de la découverte à cette époque d'un service similaire datant de 1715 dans les collections du comte de Warwick.
