A beautiful pair of geometric tapersticks by an excellent English silversmith of Irish descent.
The arms are those of Clifford for either Hugh Clifford 2nd Baron Chudleigh, or Thomas Clifford, his son and heir. Thomas was born in 1687, and married, on the 22nd of December, 1713, Charlotte Maria Livingston, in her own right the Countess of Newburgh in Scotland. The date suggests these sticks may have been a wedding present from the father to the son. Thomas died on the 21st of February 1719, when his father was still living, thus leaving his younger brother Hugh as heir to the Baronetcy.
