专家说明

The arms are those of Alexander impaling Yorke, for Du Pre, 2nd Earl of Caledon K.P. (1777-1839) and his wife Catherine (d.1863), daughter of Philip, 3rd Earl of Hardwicke (1757-1834), whom he married in 1811. Lord Caledon was one of the Irish Representative Peers and was both His Majesty's Lieutenant in Co. Tyrone and Colonel of the Tyrone Militia. He was appointed the first Governor of the Cape of Good Hope when it was ceded to Britain in 1806.

A matching pair of wine coolers from the same service was sold by The Republic of the Philippines Presidential Commission on Good Government, Christie's, New York, 10 January 1991, lot 49.
