L7796 : Sterling Silver Stag Model
Hallmarked In 1902
Carrying import marks for London in 1902 by John George Piddington, this very handsome, Edwardian, Antique Sterling Silver Model of a Stag, is in a classic bellowing pose. The stag model measures 8.25"(21cm) tall, by 10.5"(26.5cm) from nose to tail, by 3.75"(9.5cm) across the shoulders, and weighs 25.74 troy ounces.
The collar of the stag is engraved "Baron Boxall, from Kinnoull Xmas 1903".
Alleyne Boxall was created Baron Boxall in 1900 by Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha for having helped the duke out of financial embarrassment. The title was originally granted in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, but Boxall was granted permission by Queen Victoria to use the title in the UK. During the first World War he relinquished the title as it was considered to be used by the enemy, but in 1919 as compensation he was awarded the baronetcy in the UK. It can be assumed that Kinnoull would likely be reference to Archibald Hay, 13th Earl of Kinnoull.
