Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, was a prominent member of the Scottish royal house during the 14th and 15th centuries. Known for his regency and governance of Scotland, he held prestigious titles such as Duke of Albany, Earl of Fife & Menteith. His seal, dating back to around 1340-1420, is a testament to his power and influence in medieval Scotland. In addition to his political achievements, it also had a creative side. He dabbled in various artistic endeavors like pottery and design. The Sugar Bowl from around 1940/1941 showcases his talent as its creator. Its intricate details reflect the craftsmanship that Robert Stewart possessed. Another example of his artistic prowess is seen in the Flower Crock from the same period. This piece demonstrates Robert Stewart's ability to blend functionality with beauty seamlessly. The Beaded Bag from approximately 1940 displays Robert Stewart's attention to detail and love for intricate designs. It serves as evidence that he excelled not only in politics but also in creating visually stunning accessories. Moving away from pottery, we find an exquisite Walnut Carved Back Chair crafted by Robert Stewart circa 1940. Its elegant design speaks volumes about his taste for sophistication and luxury. Amongst other creations attributed to him are the Gilt Mirror, Cruet set, Pa. German Cheese Strainer (all circa 1937), Vase (Amberina), Pitcher (both circa 1937), Corner Cupboard (circa 1937), and Vase (Morning Glory) - each showcasing different aspects of Robert Stewart's creativity across various mediums.
