With their distinctived knopped branches, scrolled arms, domed canopy and scallopped drip-pans, these rare wal-lights are closely realted to the documented oeuvre of William Parker. The founder of the celebrated firm later known as Parker and Perry following the formal business partnership established by his son in 1817 with the Perry family his son finally entered into formal partnership with the Perry family, William Parker enjoyed the extensive patronage of King and Court, ranging from George, Prince of Wales to William Beckford. Perhaps his best documented commissions is that of the Dukes of Devonshire for Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, circa 1782-3, for whom he supplied four pairs of candelabra of extremely closely related form to the present wall-light (illustrated in M. Mortimer, The English Glass Chandelier, Woodbridge, 2000, p.99, pl.45).

A similar pair of wall-lights was shown in the Partridge Summer Exhibition in 1986, no. 35.
