Légende

Dessert Service for the Maharajah of Kuch Behar, 1895. 'The Maharajah, who was present at the Queen's Jubilee service, has immense wealth. For instance, a dessert service, of eighteen pieces in solid silver, is in process of manufacture for him by Messrs. Elkington and Co., Limited, of Birmingham, which will cost more than £3000. The Maharajah has commissioned this fine work to commemorate several [horse] races he has won. His Highness has been very generous in his appreciation of English art on other occasions. He is thirty-three years of age, and succeeded his father in 1863. The [Indian] State over which he rules contains 1300 square miles, and the population is over 600,000'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
