PROPERTY FROM WERRINGTON PARK, CORNWALL (LOTS 281-284)

The current vendor’s great grandfather, JC Williams (1861-1939) sponsored plant
hunters Wilson and Forrest, who imported fower and plant seeds to the UK from
the Far East in the early 20th century. It is likely that some of the jades in this
collection were acquired by JC Williams at that time.
