Mrs Anne Hull Grundy donated a large collection of jewellery to Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. This was one of a number of donations she made to museums in this country. She was concerned that each collection she gave to a museum should suit its manufacturing history and existing collections, hence she wished her Birmingham Collection to reflect the work of Birmingham jewellers. This peacock design waist clasp was made in two sizes. We have examples of both clasp in the Museum, the larger clasp is hallmarked with the date 1898-99.
