Description
A truly wonderful piece of Royal architectural History, believed to have been acquired from Cumberland House.
Cumberland House was built in the 1760s (on the South Side of Pall Mall) by Matthew Brettingham for Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany, and was originally called York House.
This plaque was made to honour the fact Frederick, the second son of George III and Queen Charlotte, and Princess Frederica Charlotte of Prussia, the Duke and Duchess of York and Albany lived at Cumberland House during the late 18th/early 19th century. The Duke and Duchess of York got married in 1791.
Cumberland House was demolished in 1908-1912 which is likely when this piece of Royal history was salvaged.
The stone plaque is in good overall condition for its age with only two slight chips, see last two images.
