In 1840 Queen Victoria of Great Britain commissioned a special silver baptismal font when she was expecting her first child with her husband, Prince Albert. The font was made by Barnard & Co. The symbol of the lily was used to represent purity and new life. The christening ceremony of Princess Victoria took place in February 1841 in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace.
