The Royal arms are those of George I. It is almost certain that these plates form part of the thirty issued to Colonel William Stanhope, 1st Earl of Harrington (1690-1756), as Ambassador to Spain in 1721. Stanhope, a diplomat and statesman, was first sent to Spain on a special mission in 1717. After serving in Turin, he returned to Spain as Ambassador where he served for seven years and was created Baron Harrington in 1730 and advanced to Earldom in 1742.
