Lot Essay

The design of these candelabra relates to a number of mid 18th century silver candlesticks and candelabra of a similar pattern by Paul de Lamerie, Robert Tyrril and others. Crichton's was particularly well known for the luxurious quality of its reproductions, copied from originals of 1730s and 1740s from the Lamerie workshop.
