A Large Pair Of George III Silver Candlesticks, Frederick Kandler, London, 1777
1/6
Description
the circular bases with palmette borders around fluted wells, the acanthus leaf stems leading to goat mask knops, with urn nozzles and removable crested drip-pans, marked on bases and drip-pans
66 1/2 oz., 2068 g
height 12 1/2 in.; 12.5 cm
Catalogue note
The design of these candlesticks bears strong similarities to those of Jean-Charles Delafosse (1734-1789), in particular a candlestick with goat masks linked by swags, depicted on plate 1 of his 27th "Cahier de 12 flambeaux et chandeliers de table," (shown right) published as part of the IIe Volume de l’Oeuvre de J. Ch. Delafosse, Paris, 1771. His designs span the heavy goût grec style and later move into a more delicate neoclassicism. Born in Paris, Delafosse served an apprenticeship in a sculptor's workshop, later developing interests in architecture and ornament design. His collection of decorations, Nouvelle Iconologie Historique had a great influence in France and beyond following its publication in 1768.
A pair of two-light candelabra with similar stems are marked for Thomas Heming, 1774; they were a Royal gift from George III to the Earl of Jersey (see Royal Provenance, S.J. Shrubsole, New York, 2023).
