An identical sconce, one of a pair engraved 'Upholders Hall' No 11 and No12, is illustrated in R. Gentle and R. Feild, Domestic Metalwork 1640 - 1820, Woodbridge, 1994, p. 197, Plate 3.
The Upholders or upholsters are one of the ancient Livery Companies of the City of London formed on 1 March 1360 and incorporated by a Royal Charter granted by King Charles II in the year 1626. Although today the company does not have a hall, it was based before the Great Fire in Wingfield House or Wingfield Place, between Lambeth Hill and St. Peters Hill in the parish of St. Peters, in the Ward of Baynard Castle.
