Coral Tiara | c. 1860 - 1870

Phillips Brothers, in which the dominant partner was Robert Phillips, were the leading supplier of coral goods in London, as well as being important goldsmiths and jewellers.

Robert Phillips received the order of the Crown of Italy for his services to the coral industry in Naples.
