With the engraved arms, supporters, crest and motto 'CAVENDO TUTUS' of the CAVENDISH family.
Possibly for George Augustus Henry CAVENDISH (1754-1834) later 1st Earl of Burlington. Son of William CAVENDISH (1748-1811) 5th Duke of Devonshire.
George Augustus Henry CAVENDISH who in 1782 had married Lady Elizabeth COMPTON daughter and heiress of Charles COMPTON 7th Earl of Northampton. Notably George Augustus Henry CAVENDISH was an MP at Knaresborough 1775-80, for Derby 1781-97 and Derbyshire 1797-1831 and was ennobled in 1831 as Baron Cavendish of Keighley and 1st Earl Burlington.
Most notably was that the 1st Earl lived at Burlington House and was responsible for the building of the Burlington Arcade in Piccadilly. In 1815, Lord Burlington bought Burlington House in Piccadilly from his nephew, the 6th Duke of Devonshire. With the architect Samuel Ware, he made a number of significant modifications to the house, including the building of Burlington Arcade along the west side. He died aged 80 at Burlington House in 1834.
