Hi I have a large George III solid silver toast rack dating 1811 maker Matthew Boulton it has a crest engraved on the foot, if anyone could help with this crest i would be grateful
Thanks Mandy

Good mowing Mandy,

Monogram does appear to read HEA, let's see it we can identify this crest.

Warren

So far the University of Toronto Libraries British Amorial Bindings describes it as:

Creast a panache of five ostrich feathers unidentified. The closest other crest was for Borough, Richard, Sir, 1st Baronet (1756-1837). Three roundrels surmounted by five ostrich feathers.

It's a beginning, hopefully a more knowledgable member can take us further.

Hi Mandy,
