Renowned for her fervent dedication to preserving cultural heritage, she notably rescued the 18th-century Octagon Room at Orleans House in Twickenham from impending destruction. Furthermore, she generously bequeathed this historical treasure, along with numerous pieces from her extensive art collection, to the local council, now known as the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Nellie was the second child and eldest daughter of Sir Marcus Samuel and his wife Fanny (née Benjamin). Her father, Marcus, had notably served as Lord Mayor of London and established the Shell Transport and Trading Company, later evolving into Royal Dutch Shell. Nellie's passion for art burgeoned from an early age, particularly focusing on Chinese porcelain and 18th-century artworks. This predilection not only shaped her personal identity but also her social standing within the British elite. Eager to share her collections with the public, she actively engaged with prestigious institutions like the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), the Royal Academy, and the British Museum, contributing to the enrichment of cultural heritage. During the 1930s, Nellie aligned herself with influential figures like Sir Philip Sassoon, using her private apartments as exhibition spaces. In addition to her dedication to art preservation and philanthropy, Nellie Ionides was celebrated for her remarkable collection of Kangxi porcelain. 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. ??·??????1883?7?2?-1962?11?15?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????·???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?1930??????????·????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????1947?7???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
