Further details

A QUEEN ANNE SILVER-GILT TEN-PIECE TOILET SERVICE
MARK OF BENJAMIN PYNE, LONDON, 1711
Each plain with moulded borders, comprising: two large rectangular boxes with hinged covers, two medium circular boxes, two small circular boxes, two square section bottles, a snuffer stand and a chamberstick, all engraved with initials AS beneath a coronet and underneath with EA/Fs and number 48, fully marked
The monogram is that of Princess Amelia Sophia Eleonore of Great Britain (1711-1786) second daughter of King Georg II of Great Britain and Queen Caroline. The initials EA / Fs and the number translates as Ernest Augustus Fideikommis and refers to his inventories.

Amelia Sophia Eleonora was born in 1711 at Herrenhausen Palace in Hanover, Germany. She was the second daughter and the favorite of George Augustus (later George II) and his wife, Caroline of Brandenburg-Ansbach. She arrived in England in October 1714 with her parents and sisters, Anne and Caroline Elizabeth, following the accession of her grandfather, George I, to the throne.
After her mother’s death in 1737, Amelia became the highest-ranking woman at court. Unmarried, Amelia and her sister Caroline maintained their own households. Amelia's appointment as Ranger of Richmond Park in 1751 granted her the 'New Lodge' as her personal residence until 1761, when John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute, took over the position.
After losing her apartments at St. James's Palace following her father's death, Amelia purchased Gunnersbury House in Ealing, Middlesex, where she spent her later years before passing away at her home in Cavendish Square, London, on October 31, 1786.
In her will, dated December 24, 1786, she bequeathed her gilt dressing service to her niece, Wilhelmina, Landgravine of Hesse:
"I give and bequeath to my niece Wilhelmina Land Garvine of Hesse my gilt Dressing plate and Toilett..."
The service later became part of the collection of the Duke of Cumberland and King of Hanover, Ernest Augustus I, whose initials EA / Fs (for Ernest Augustus Fideikommis) and the number 48 were engraved on the pieces in reference to his inventories.
