Engraved with the coat-of-arms of George I, the engraving attributed to John Rollos.

Gavin Campbell (1851-1922), the 7th Earl of Breadalbane, was a prominent society figure and Liberal politician in the Gladstone administration, but is best known in collecting circles as the owner of a vast array of silver. Much was dispersed at sales in 1926 and 1935 but a handful of pieces were kept by the family.
This seal box was issued to John Campbell, 3rd Earl of Breadalbane & Holland (1692-1782), who served as Envoy to Denmark and would become Ambassador to Russia in 1731. The box still retains the Royal Charter that granted him plenipotentiary powers and a wax impression of the great seal of King George.
