The Brooke collection includes objects relating to the Brooke family along with the  Osbaldestons, who were closely related. \r\n\r\n“The Reverend R. Brooke, Gateforth House, Selby, presented, in February 1864, a collection of articles of personal use of the 17th and 18th  centuries, being the accumulated memorials of an English family for three or four generations; the most important are watches, rings, seals, lace  and court dresses; the total number of objects is 396.” The gift also included 718 books for the new National Art Library. Brooke stipulated that the  collection should be kept together and labelled as the ‘Brooke of Gateforth Gift’.  (Eighteenth Report of the Science and Art Department of the  Committee of Council on Education, London, 1865, pp.40-41).\r\n\r\nThe minutes also stipulate “That Mr and Mrs Brooke, and the future possessors of the ‘Gateforth Estate’, provided they bear the name and are of  the present family of ‘Brooke’, to have the privilege secured to them (by memorandum recorded in the Books of the Museum, and by possession of  a Free Pass Ticket) of entrance into the Museum and Library and the Horticultural Gardens attached, on the holding of any scientific or other  meetings, and on all other public occasions.’","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Enamelled gold mourning ring, the octagonal bezel set with a faceted crystal enclosing a gold wire monogram on yellow silk.
