Notably, in July 1947, members of the Oriental Ceramic Society were captivated by her and her husband's exquisite array of Chinese porcelain. Her generous donations to esteemed institutions like the V&A Museum, the British Museum, and the Brighton Pavilion further solidified her legacy as a prominent figure in the preservation of cultural treasures.Click here to share:Request a condition report
