拍品专文

The arms are those of Wrey quartering Bouchier, Plantagenet and Bohun, and impaling Edwards for Sir Bourchier Wrey, 6th baronet, colonel of the North Devon Militia and MP for Barnstaple 1749-50, who married Mary, daughter of John Edwards of Highgate in 1749. This salver was probably commissioned for their wedding.
