Silver gilt caskets for the toilet-table presented to the Duchess of York by Mr. Walter Mappin, 1895. 'In connection with the royal visit to Sheffield, these silver gilt caskets for the toilet-table were presented to the Duchess of York by Mr. Walter Mappin. They were designed and made throughout by Messrs. Mappin and Webb's workpeople at the Royal Silver Plate Works, Sheffield. The design is very graceful in conception. Medallions of Raphael's angels in oxidised silver are worked into the centre of the covers. The interior space is lined with rich white satin, and the whole enclosed in a winged case of royal red Morocco [leather] lined with white velvet. The presentation took place at the Royal Silver Plate Works, which were gaily decorated in honour of the occasion'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
