The complex design of these candelabra incorporates revived baroque and rococo elements common to some of the most innovative silver designs of the Regency era. The most elaborate version of this design, a set of three- seven- and eight-light candelabra dating to 1813, is illustrated in M. Penzer, Paul Storr, 1954, pl. XLIII.

A similar pair of candelabra sold in these Rooms, 19 October 2004, lot 995.
