Theres a beautiful ornate

There's a beautiful ornate piece of furniture Von Tempski owned, at the Whangarei Museum.
He was close to Sir Robert Douglas 2rd Bart. (Writer of the Scottish Peerage) who fought with him.
Both their Crimean Swords are also at Whangarei. Sir Robert settled in Glenbervie, Whangarei.
