Description
Two (2) Equestrian Figures, including Cartier and Sitzendorf. 1st item: Cartier crystal horse head, acid stamped on the base. 6 1/2" H x 7" W. 20th century. 2nd item: Sitzendorf Royal Horseguards porcelain figurine depicting a Royal soldier in uniform on horseback. Incised on the base "Royal Horseguards 1830-1840". Blue maker's mark on the base. 8 1/4" H x 6 1/4" W. 1st half 20th century. Provenance: The Estate of Jane Dudley, Nashville, TN and Palm Beach, FL. Social icon Jane Dudley was the founder of one of the South's most prestigious charity events--the Swan Ball, benefiting Cheekwood. She traveled the world as the wife of U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, Guilford Dudley, with whom she shared a landmark Nashville estate, Northumberland. A graduate of Nashville's Parmer School, Ward Belmont and Vanderbilt University, she worked briefly for the Tennessean newspaper and later for Tiffany & Co., where she managed corporate accounts for more than twenty years and later served on the board of directors. Mrs. Dudley was also a member of the International Best Dressed List. In 1963 she was the founding chairman of The Swan Ball, now the nation's longest running charity ball. She also chaired the Tiffany Feather Ball in New York from 1981-1991, the ball benefiting the Palm Beach Cancer Society in the 1970s (featuring entertainer Bob Hope), and in England, a ball at Blenheim Palace to raise funds for the historic castle's roof.
