Description

A pair of George III cut-glass and gil♒t-brass twin-light candelabra, circa 1790, attributed to Parker and Perry


each with pineapple finials hung with drops, the two S-shaped arms similarly hun🍌g with pendants on a circular base in the form of a temple

75.5cm. high; 2ft. 5⅞in.

Acquired from Jeremy Ltd., London;
Christie's London, 50 Years of Collecting: Decorative Arts of Georgian England, 14 May 2003, lot 259 (£31,070 with premium).

The form of these candelabra is typical of the work of Perry and Parker, in particular with respect to the gradient of the S-curved arms (see Martin Mortimer, The English Glass Chandelier, Woodbridge: Antique Collectors' Club, 2000, p.106, pl.53). William Parker and William Perry were first registered as Fleet Street-based chandelier makers in 1803, and rapidly became one of the most prominent su꧑ppliers of sumptuous glass lighting to the era's most discerning clientele. They created numerous chandeliers for the British Royal Family, including several for the Prince of Wales' residence Carlton House that now hang in Buckingham Palace (2719, 98699 and 44192). Other patrons of Parker and Perry included the Dukes of Devonshire and the Emperor of China.
