ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Florence Emily Henderson married Edward Charles Grenfell in 1913. Grenfell was one of the leading figures in British banking, becoming a partner of J. S. Morgan & Co.; his prominence was such that the London banking house subsequently became Morgan, Grenfell & Co. He later represented the City of London in Parliament and, after Florence's death, was elevated to the peerage as Baron St Just in 1935. The painted initials ‘F. E. St. J.’ make the provenance especially evocative, connecting this luxurious piece of early Louis Vuitton luggage with a family at the heart of Britain's financial and social establishment during the early 20th century.
CONDITION
