Provenance
A private UK collection.
While the engravings of the White Tower on the bases are not taken from a coat-of-arms, the motto is exclusively used by the Hervey family (Marquis of Bristol). Frederick William Hervey (1769-1859) was created Marquis in 1826 and would have been, in 1815, the 5th Earl of Bristol.
