Conceived in the George I style the addorsed cockerels crowning this chandelier are derived from Roman candelabra and reflect the 'antiquarian' taste of the early nineteenth century while the acanthus and sunflowered arms reflect the Louis XIV fashion as popularised by the architect and designer to King William III, Daniel Marot. Marot published designs depicting chandeliers with similar double-scrolled foliate arms in his Nouveau Livre d'Orfeverie of circa 1700.
