Catalogue Note
Les armoiries sont celles du comte Alfred de La Chapelle de Morton, du Périgord, ajoutées en 1863 à Londres sur la majeure partie du service Demidoff. Celui-ci, un aventurier hors du commun, n'étant pas marié mais ayant une compagne non blasonnée, choisit de demander à l'orfèvre anglais pour armoiries de sa compagne une alternative de ses propres armes.
