- Lot Description
circa 1760, one side depicting arms of Campbell, having two quarters gyronny of eight in gilt and black, quartering Lorne with a single masted ship, flags and pennants flying, surmounted with Duke's coronet, flanked by two rampant lions, the whole surmounted with gilt boar's head and motto "Ne Obliviscaris" and below "Vix ea nostra vovo", behind are baton of Hereditary Grand Master of Scotland and Sword of the Lord Justice General of Scotland, opposite side cartouche depicting Chinese figures in rural landscape with cow, interior center with boar's head crest surrounded by intertwined leaves and motto "Ne Obliviscaris", the base signed "Sullivan", being the signature of a 19th century china mender, 9-1/4 in.
Note: "This service was probably made for John, 4th Duke of Argyll, or for his son, also John, the 5th Duke, who succeeded in 1770. If for the 4th Duke it would have been before 1765, because thereafter he would have been likely to have encircled his arms with the ribbon of the Order of the Thistle
The 4th Duke of Argyll, nephew of the 1st Duke and son of John Campbell of Mamore, was a general in the army and an MP almost continuously from 1713 to 1761, when he succeeded his cousin in the dukedom. He married in 1720 Mary, daughter of the 2nd Lord Bellenden, and died in November 1770, being succeeded by his eldest son.
John, the 5th Duke, born in 1723, was a Field Marshal, and MP for Glasgow 1744-61, and for Dover 1765-6 when he was created a peer in England as Lord Sundridge. He married in 1759 Elizabeth, the widow of the 6th Duke of Hamilton and daughter of John Gunning of Castle Coote, who was renowned as one of the greatest beauties of the Court of George III and was created in 1776, in her own right, Baroness Hamilton of Hambledon in Leicestershire, during the lifetime of her second husband, who died in 1806. He was succeeded in turn by two of his sons as 6th and 7th Duke."
