EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a selection of exquisite wedding presents bestowed upon Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine, on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Louis of Hesse on July 1, 1862. The first present in the foreground is a paper-weight, a thoughtful gift from the Duchess of Athole. The base of this elegant accessory is fashioned from a piece of green variegated marble from Blair Athol, intricately mounted with oak leaves and acorns. The relief on one side showcases the arms of Prince Louis and Princess Alice, while the other side bears an inscription commemorating the royal union. The paper-weight is crowned with a finely-detailed silver gilt Royal stag ascending a rocky peak, a masterpiece designed by Frederick Tayler, Esq., R.A. The second present, a richly silver-gilt jewel-casket, was presented by the Countess of Fife. This precious box is adorned with guardian angels at each corner and a large cairngorm set in gold at its peak. The key of the casket is fashioned from the royal coronet, and the exterior is intricately engraved with rose, shamrock, and thistle, symbolizing the unity of the British Isles. The remarkable cairngorm stone, found on the Mar estate, adds to the beauty and significance of this exceptional gift. Both presents were meticulously crafted by Messrs. London and Ryder, of New Bond-street, showcasing the artisanal skills and dedication of the time.
