One's luggage


PRINCESS MARGARET'S BLUE-PAINTED TRAVELLING WARDROBE TRUNK CIRCA 1950 The exterior painted twice with the initial 'M' and with a tie-on lable printed 'Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret' the interior fitted, 'Papworth Industries' makers label 61 in. (155 cm.) upright, together with a matching travelling case by the same maker and a Hermes black-leather travelling case (3).
Sold at Christie's GBP3,125, (estimated GBP800-1,200).


I can only imagine that this was only part of her luggage, perhaps that used for a weekend house party. One tends not to travel lightly, one finds.
