Thanks,Jim, as I h̶o̶p̶e̶d̶ suspected.

What tales it could tell of its journeys. From here to the far side of Europe and now on its way back home. It would have been made during the rule of the German Kingdom of Preußen eventually winding up in one of it's most eastern states of Latvia, where it is leaving for home...Possibly made for one of Frederick the Great's Nobles visiting England, or carried there as booty by Nappy, or loot by Wilhelm in 1871, after a short stay in France by the conquering British Infantry after waterloo.
