Head of Knightsbridge Silver Department
Provenance
Christie's, New York, 21 October 2011, lot 190
The arms appear to be for the family of CRAUFURD who by 1840 were considered to be of Burgh Hall, Lincolnshire, when Sir George CRAUFORD (1797-1881), 3rd Baronet Craufurd of Kilbirney, Scotland, was vicar of Burgh-le-Marsh, Lincolnshire and built the hall there. He was the son of, and succeeded, Sir James GREGAN-CRAUFORD (1761-1839), 2nd Baronet who himself succeeded to the baronetcy in 1797 and would have been the holder of the arms at the time of assay.
