Catalogue Note
The arms are those of Congreve with Stawell in pretence for Ralph Congreve (1721?-1775), MP for Cardigan Boroughs from 1769 until 1774, who married on 29 June 1752 Charlotte, daughter and heir of William, 3rd Baron Stawell.
A silver salver, Paul de Lamerie, London, 1736, engraved with the same arms impaling Stawell, is in the Sir Arthur and Rosalinde Gilbert Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum (museum number: Loan: Gilbert.983-2008).
