Escutcheon of the Philipson-Stow baronets of Cape Town and Blackdown House

The Philipson-Stow baronetcy, of Cape Town in the Colony of Cape of Good Hope, and Blackdown House in Lodsworth in the County of Sussex, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 26 July 1907 for the diamond magnate Frederic Philipson-Stow, a founder of De Beers. Born Frederic Stow, he had assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Philipson in 1891.[2][3]

As of 2026, the baronetcy is marked as dormant on the Official Roll.[4]
