An impressive and large pair of early to mid-19th century brass chandeliers, English, circa 1830
Each topped by a trefoil loop, a knopped column and a dove with wings displayed, the stems with a small upper bulb issuing three candle branches, the lower larger bulb issuing six, the stem terminating in a fluted knop and a brass loop, the branches cast with a square knop and spurs and terminating in dished drip-pans and vase-shaped candle cups with removable sconces, with later wrythen hanging rods, the branches and bulbs with Arabic numerals, 105cm diameter x 112cm high (stem including loops)
|Provenance: Purchased by the present owner in the early 1980s. These chandeliers are of a type made in both the 18th and 19th centuries in England, probably Birmingham. The dove at the top of the stem suggests that this pair was made for a church. Compare similar examples made for church and illustrated R. Gentle & R. Feild, Domestic Metalwork 1640 - 1820 (1994), p. 183.
