| Credit line | Forrer Collection |
| Object history | Acquired from Dr. Robert Forrer of Strasbourg, a German archaeologist and textile specialist who corresponded frequently with the V&A between 1893 and 1920, offering for sale a wide variety of medieval and Renaissance artefacts, mostly European, including textiles, jewellery, medallions, books, tiles, clocks, furniture, ironwork and miscellaneous items. Many of these items, although not all, were subsequently purchased by the Museum. |
