The engraved monogram ‘H St A’ and coronet are those of the former actress, Harriet Mellon (1777-1837), widow of Thomas Coutts (1735-1822) and first wife of William Aubrey de Vere Beauclerk, 9th Duke of St. Albans, a descendant of Charles II, whom she married in 1827 at her house, 1 Stratton Street, Piccadilly, Westminster. The Duchess’s silver collection remained intact well after her death. Careful to safeguard her possessions and the memory of Mr. Coutts, she left the bulk of her estate to one of his granddaughters, Angela Burdett, later Baroness Angela Burdett-Coutts. After the Baroness died in 1906 the silver remained in storage until sold at Christie’s in successive sales between 1914 and 1922.
