A PRESENT FROM THE QUEEN TO THE SERVANT OF HER SISTER IN LAW, QUEEN MAUD OF NORWAY MARY (of Teck, 1867-1953, Queen of George V)

A Glorious ink blotter from Sandringham House, the blotter is mounted on a papier mache board decorated with a coloured design of pheasants in the landscape near York Cottage, the blotter itself can be revealed by taking the top layer out and laying it into the bottom layer, which has a printed card attached stating that it is a present from Queen Mary, at that time the Queen Mother,

She had given it as a gift to Queen Maud of Norway's favourite servant as a memento of the death of Queen Maud, who had died at Sandringham the previous month. It is unusual that Queen Mary would have given an artefact from Sandringham as it is part of a much larger set which is still extant in the house today.
