Anne Hull Grundy

Anne Hull Grundy (née Ullmann, 9 December 1926–7 August 1984)[1] was a German-born British art collector and philanthropist.

Her father Philipp Ullmann's company Mettoy became famous for its metal toys, including the Corgi line of cars.

[3] She had family wealth as well as income from the Keyser-Ullmann bank and this enabled Ulmann to collect art from the age of 11, especially ivory, ceramics, metalwork and jewellery.

This possibly comprised the best of her collections as she had separately donated fine pieces to other museums in the UK, including the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge, Manchester and Glasgow.

This included an Italian miniature Aladdin's lamp brooch from 1860 and English fuchsia gold and ivory drop earrings from 1835.
