A very attractive suite of two large and two medium height
late Victorian / Edwardian silver
candlesticks, with square
bases and gadroon-mounted borders, decorated with swags
and
medallions. They have detachable nozzles (sconces), and
are
in very
good condition.
Made in 1900/1904 by Hawksworth
Eyre.
Heights: One Pair - 7 1/2 inches (19 cm); Other Pair -
9 inches (23 cm)
Bases: One Pair - 3 3/4 inches square
(9.5 cm); Other Pair - 4 inches
square (10 cm)
These are beautiful
reproductions of a design from the 1790s, based on the
style of the neoclassical English architect Robert Adam.
He reintroduced Graeco-Roman features to contemporary
silverware, including swags, medallions and columns.
These are available either as a suite of
four, or as two separate pairs [see 20C131 and 20C132].
