Lot 187		(Hawaii) Sterling Silver Place Holder With Coat of Arms. Sterling silver plate, 6 inches in diameter, with the enameled coat of arms of the Kingdom of Hawaii that was used during the reigns of King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani at center and engraved with the initials "PTCC" at the top edge of the plate. This belonged to Percy Thomas Cleghorn, the great great nephew and personal secretary of Archibald Scott Cleghorn. Percy's grandson, the present owner, believes that this was a personalized place holder used at meals. The Royal Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Hawaii was adopted in 1845 during the reign of King Kamehameha III. In the shield's 1st and 4th quarters are red, white and blue stripes representing the eight inhabited Hawaiian islands. The 2nd and 3rd quarters have two emblems of taboo (pulo'ulo'u) on yellow. The inescutcheon has crossed spears and the triangular flag on green. Above the shield is the Crown of Hawaii. The figure at right represents Kamanawa holding a spear; at left is Kame'eiamoku holding a feather standard; the two men were twin brothers who were high chiefs and counselors to King Kamehameha I. The motto: "Ua mau ke ea o ka 'aina i ka pono" meaning "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness" is on a banner below. During the reign of King Kalakaua (1874-1891), a second crown was added to the top of the feathered cape background, which was changed to an ermine cape. The two figures were faced outwards and a cross placed under the motto. The Coat of Arms adorns the iron gates and fencing at the Hulihea Palace, the Royal Mausoleum and the Iolani Palace.

Stevenson and the 13-year-old young princess became good friends and he wrote this poem in April 1889 in her autograph book: "Forth from her land to mine she goes The island maid, the island rose, Light of heart and bright of face: The daugher of a double race. Her islands here, in southern sun, Shall mourn their Kaiulani gone; And I, in her dear Banyan shade, Look vainly for my little maid. But our Scots islands far away Shall glitter with unwonted day, And cast for once their tempests by To smile in Kaiulani's eye Robert Louis Stevenson" Below the poem, Stevenson added a long holograph note: "written in April, to Kaiulani in the April of her age; and at Waikiki within easy walk of Kaiulani's banyan. When she comes to my land and her fathers, and the rain beats upon the window (as I fear it will) let her look at this page; it will be like a weed gathered and pressed at home; and she will remember her own islands, and the shadow of the mighty tree; and she will hear the peacocks screaming in the dusk and the wind blowing in the palms; and she will think of her father sitting there alone." The book is in a manila envelope inscribed "Elizabeth-Louisa Cleghorn Smith / From her affectionate Dad." Elizabeth was the daughter of Percy Thomas Cleghorn, who served as personal secretary to Archibald Cleghorn, Kaiulani's father. Percy's grandfather, Thomas Davis Cleghorn, was Archibald's brother.
