Lot Essay

The arms are those of Fergusson, for Sir Charles Dalymple Fergusson, 5th Baronet (1800 - 1849), who succeeded to the baronetcy on 10 April 1838. He was also Lord Kilkerran, which explains the presence of the Baron's coronet on the side of these wine coasters. A silver-gilt pair of the same form and provenance was sold anonymous sale; Christie's, New York, 22 April 1993, lot 295 ($46,000).
