A SET OF TWENTY-FOUR GEORGE III SILVER-GILT DESSERT PLATES
MARK OF ANDREW FOGELBERG AND STEPHEN GILBERT, LONDON, 1790
Each shaped circular with reed and tie rim above a beaded band, engraved with the Royal coat-of-arms, and engraved with numbers and scratch weights: No 25 14:6 / No 26 14:6 / No 27 14:5 / No 28 14:4 / No 29 14:4 / No 30 14:5 / No 31 14:7 / No 32 14:4 / No 33 14:7 / No 34 14:0 / / No 35 14'4 / No 36 14:9 / No 49 14:3 / No 50 14:5 / No 51 13:14 / No 52 14:9 / / No 53 14:5 / No 54 14:10 / No 55 14:4 / No 56 14:6 / No 57 14:14 / No 58 14:3 / No 59 14:4 / No 60 15:10; fully marked
Thomas Bruce (1766–1841), 7th Earl of Elgin and 11th Earl of Kincardine, was born on 20 July 1766 at Broomhall, Fife, the ancestral seat of the Bruce family, descended from the former royal house of Scotland. He inherited the title in 1771 and was educated at Harrow, Westminster and the University of St Andrews before continuing his studies in Paris. He entered the Foot Guards in 1785 and rose to the rank of general in 1837. Elected a Scottish representative peer in the House of Lords in 1790, he sat regularly until 1840. He was appointed to the Privy Council in 1799 and served as Lord Lieutenant of Fife.
His diplomatic career began in 1791 when he was appointed Envoy Extraordinary to Austria, replacing Sir Robert Keith, who had fallen seriously ill. On this occasion, as was customary, he received an ambassadorial service, of which the present plates formed part.
He was subsequently appointed to Brussels in 1792 and to Prussia in 1795. In 1799 he became British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, a post he held until 1803. During this period he secured permission initially to document Greek antiquities, before undertaking archaeological investigations and acquiring a number of works, most famously the sculptures from the Parthenon, now known as the Elgin Marbles.
After returning to Great Britain in 1806, despite a reputation that had been somewhat damaged by the controversy surrounding his acquisitions, Elgin continued to sit in the House of Lords as a Scottish representative peer. He died in Paris on 14 November 1841, aged seventy-five.
