Of the four dated delft candlesticks recorded by Louis L. Lipski and Michael Archer, each based on a variant metalwork form, the present example is the only one still in private hands.

The earliest, also with a drip pan, its domed foot painted with the arms of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers and dated 1648, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum [4752-1901]. A cylindrical stick, its domed foot painted with Chinoiserie decoration, initialed and dated 1685, is at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge [Glaisher 1340-1928]. A pair on vari-knopped stems and canted square domed bases, the underside of each initialed and dated 1753, is in the Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Michigan [60.146.3.a & b].
