專家說明

The dates on the silver and plaque correspond to the 1st Earl of Durham, John George Lambton (1792-1840), who earned the title in 1833 upon resigning from his position as Lord Privy Seal. Between 1835-1837 Lambton served as ambassador to Russia where he was knighted with the foreign Orders of St Andrew, St Alexander Nevsky, St Anne and the White Eagle.
