Original Bill of Sale, Pellatt and Green

Pellatt & Green

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bill of sale from Pellatt and Green. The document is on aged paper with darker edges and a central crease. At the top, there is an illustration of a crowned crest between two lions. Underneath the crest, the business name "Pellatt & Green" is written in large cursive. Under the business name, the phrase "Gilt Makers to the Mint & to the Duchess of Marlborough" is written. The business's address is written below in smaller text: "Goldsmiths, Copper Smiths, and Manufacturer of Neat Silver Church Vases, NORTH STREET, SOHO SQUARE, LONDON." The document contains a table with mostly handwritten text in cursive and some printed text. To the left of the table are the printed words "Class" and "DWR." The top-left area features a drawing of a building with smoke coming from a chimney beside another building with a dome roof. A printed rectangle beside the buildings contains illegible writing. The background of the document is beige. The document is protected with clear plastic.
