Item from an Exhibition of Ancient and Medieval Art in London, including:..objects from Windsor Castle (placed at the disposal of the committee by her Majesty's gracious permission)...of these, the Nautilus Cup, of the seventeenth century...is not the least admired.

Nautilus shell with parcel-gilt silver mounts made by Nikolaus Schmidt, in the Royal Collection. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
