- Albert Pattern - The Albert pattern is a decorative design that was popular on sterling silver cutlery in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is named after Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, who was known for his love of art and design. The Albert pattern features a series of scrolls that terminate in foliate motifs, that are etched or engraved into the surface of the silver. It is typically found on knives, forks, and spoons, and is often used in formal or special occasion settings.
- George Iv - George IV (1762 ? 1830) was king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and king of Hanover from 1820, until his own death in 1830. From 1811 until his accession in 1820, he served as Prince Regent during his father's final mental illness.
In English furniture design, his reign from 1811 to 1830 is known as the Regency period.
