makers mark only, the flat hexagonal bases with simple ring handle with moulded thumbpiece, the domed centre set with cast socket sconce with moulded rim and girdle, engraved to base with crest and motto (Qty: 2) Width 12cm (at widest point), 7.55oz and 7.91oz Heraldry: With crest of a demi-lion argent holding in his dexter paw a cross crosslet fitchy gules and motto PAR VALEUR above for Heron of Heron in the County of Kirkcudbrightshire. Given the date of manufacture, it appears likely the original owner of these chambersticks was Patrick Heron of Heron and Kirroughtrie in the County of Kirkcudbrightshire (born circa 1736 died 9th June 1803). Patrick was the eldest son of Patrick Heron and his wife Margaret Mackie of Palgown. He married firstly Jean Home, the daughter of Henry Home, Lord Kames in 1761 whom he later divorced after her adulterous affair with a young officer in 1772. Patrick married secondly Lady Elizabeth Cochrane, the daughter of Thomas Cochrane, the 8th Earl of Dundonald, and his second wife, Jane Stuart on the 14th November 1775. Patrick succeeded his grandfather in the family estate in Kirkcudbrightshire in October 1761 some three weeks after the death of his father, another Patrick in September 1761
