SIX GEORGE III SILVER MEAT-DISHES
MARK OF ANDREW FOGELBERG AND STEPHEN GILBERT, LONDON, 1784, ONE 1790
Each shaped oval with gadrooned rim, engraved with coat-of arms below a duke's coronet, each marked on the reverse, further engraved with a scratchweight '79" 8'; '77" 17'; '60" 6'; '59" 17'; '44" 19'; '44" 18'
two 20½ in. (52 cm.); two 18½ in. (47 cm.) and two 16½ in. (42 cm.) wide
358 oz. (11,135 gr.)
The arms are those of Graham quartering Montrose for James Graham, 3rd Duke of Montrose (1755-1836). The first five dishes were presumably made to celebrate his first marriage to Lady Jemima Elizabeth, daughter of John Ashburnham, 2nd Earl of Ashburnham in 1785. The sixth dish was presumably made to celebrate his second marriage to Lady Caroline Maria, daughter of George Montagu, 4th Duke of Manchester, whom he married in 1790. (6)
