Over the last week or so I have had the privilege to again work on a Robert Adams designed floor spring in a very prestigious setting, that being the Wallace Collection in Manchester Square London.
"The Wallace Collection is a national museum in an historic London town house. In 25 galleries are unsurpassed displays of French 18th-century painting, furniture and porcelain with superb Old Master paintings and a world class armoury."

This Robert Adams is his double action Crown Victor model the winner of many awards. I believe it can be found in many Royal Households and had the patronage of Queen Victoria.
The name Crown Victor is possibly an amalgamation of the patronage (Crown) and the fact it was a winner of many awards (Victor) or Queen Victoria's patronage combined with part of her name. This will need more research to be absolutely sure.

The top centre was not one I had come across before and will require me to make a tool for use in the future.
After the repairs I am happy to report the Adams Crown Victor is now working as it should.
As always feel free to leave comments.
