It was she who saved the pieces in the famous "Mail Service" from neglect. Represented in your display cabinets are the illustrious table services that ornamented the Royal and Imperial Palaces of Brazil's Bragantine court. Also present are the faithful servitors of the Monarchy in lovely Chinese export porcelain decorated with family crests or initials." excerpt from the presentation by Prince Pedro de Orleans e Bragança addressed to Jorge Getulio Veiga.
