The urn-capped medallion glasses, with sunflowered-paterae festooned with laurels held by nymphs issuing from arabesque foliage, relate to a 'glass' pattern designed around 1770 by the Berkeley Square firm of William and John Linnell, and derived in part from a girandole invented by the architect Robert Adam (d. 1792) for Osterley Park House, Middlesex, (H. Hayward and P. Kirkham, William and John Linnell, London, 1980, figs. 253 and 167).
Adam's design for a circular and laurel-festooned girandole for Osterley is illustrated in E. White, Pictorial Dictionary of British 18th Century Furniture Designs, Woodbridge, 1990, p. 27, fig. XIII.
