專家說明

The lights, with golden 'Apollo' sunflowered medallion plates, have scalloped crystal Egyptian-obelisk pillars, such as featured on candelabra that William Perry of Fleet Street supplied in the early 1780s to William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire (d. 1811) (M. Mortimer, The English Glass Chandelier, Woodbridge, 2000, p. 99, pl. 45).

These wall lights were previously used in the Picture Gallery at Houghton.
