'Principia' Centrepiece, 10 Downing Street
In tribute to the legacy of the late Lady Henderson, who worked to form the Silver Trust, this remarkable table centrepiece was commissioned in 2004 and took two years to make. It was made for the Silver Trust to use in the State Dining Room of 10 Downing Street. It was a unique collaboration between Angela Connor and Richard Fox, marrying artistry and engineering. Resembling a delicate flower bud, the sculpture unfolds its outer leaves to reveal a beautiful gilded globe, symbolising the interconnectedness of diplomacy and the passage of time.

Made from a bequest by a former Master of the Painter-Stainers’ Company and bearing their gilded and enamelled crest of a Phoenix.

The cover supports a gilded Phoenix with splayed gilded tail feathers, rising from a red gilded fire, which was designed by Serena and modelled by Julian Cross in 2019.
