Provenance

The dinner plates were ordered by Nicholas I as a part of Great Princess Alexandra Nikolaevna´s (1825-1844) dowry and were used at her wedding in 1844 with Landgraf Friedrich Wilhelm Karl George Adolf of Hessen Kassel (1820-1884). He brought the plates with him to Hessen after Alexandra´s much to early passing away. The dinner plates then passed to his sister Princess Augusta von Hessen-Kassel (1823-1889) married to Carl von Blixen-Finecke (1822-1873) in 1854. Their son Wilhelm Carl Anna Otto Gunnar Axel von Blixen Finecke (1863–1942). Thence by descent to the present owner.
