The Anthony Hordern label indicates these date from the family's time in Sydney.

The aprons were purchased from the Sydney Department store, Anthony Hordern. They are said to have been used by Guillaume Jandaschewsky who was a freemason.
The Jandaschewsky family collection was kept together by the last remaining family member, Arthur 'Jandy' Jandaschewsky. During the last years of his life 'Jandy' sold the collection to his friend John Anastasiadis. Mr Anastasiadis kept the collection for a 25 year period, having built a repository for housing and exhibiting it at his own home. In 1994 he sold the collection to the MAAS in order to keep it together, and in New South Wales, according to 'Jandy's' wishes.
