Description

A George III silver meat plate engraved with the Royal Cypher and Crown. 

John Hugh le Sage,

London, 1744. 

Of shaped, oval form, designed with a gadrooned rim and the border engraved with the initials GR (George Rex) bordering the cypher, the reverse engraved with later Fauconberg & Conyers inventory number F&C (8) and 'No. 2, 36', scratch weight 30"10, dimensions 26.6 x 36.8cm, approx. weight 29.5ozt

 

Provenance (with thanks to Pursuivant Research): The Royal arms and the initials of the Barony of Fauconberg and Conyers, put on in the early 20th century, suggest that this dish was originally issued by the Royal Jewel house to Robert D'Arcy (1718-1778), 4th Earl of Holderness and 8th Baron Conyers, in 1744 as British Ambassador (a post he held until 1746).It then descended through his family with the Barony of Conyers (one which unusually can be inherited by women and in the female line). The provenance of this piece is therefore assumed to be: Robert D'Arcy (1718-1778), 4th and last Earl of Holderness and 8th Baron Conyers; Amelia Osborne (nee D'Arcy) (1754-1784), Marchioness of Carmarthen and later Lady Amelia Byron, 9th Baroness Conyers in her own right; George William Frederick Osborne (1775-1838), 5th Duke of Leeds and 10th Baron Conyers; Francis Godolphin D'Arcy Osborne (1798-1859), 6th Duke of Leeds and 11th Baron Conyers; Sackville Lane-Fox (1827-1888), 12th Baron Conyers; Marcia Pelham (nee Lane-Fox) (1863-1926), Countess of Yarborough also 13th Baron Conyers in her own right; Sackville George Pelham (1888-1948), 5th Earl of Yarborough and 14th Baron Conyers.
