The arms are those of Stuart quarterly with those of Menteath. James Menteath of Closeburn, Dumfries, assumed the additional surname of Menteath in 1770. His son, Sir Charles Stuart Menteath, was born in 1769 and married in 1791 Ludivina, daughter of Thomas Loughnan of Philadelphia. He was created a baronet in 1838.

The same arms appear on a pair of wine coolers by Paul Storr, 1816, sold in these Rooms October 22, 1984 and illustrated in Michael Clayton, Christie's Pictorial History of English and American Silver, 1985, p. 262.
