Description / Expertise
The candlesticks each stand on a shaped base cast and chased with scrolls, shells and cartouches rising to the stem which is chased with further similar decoration. The nozzles have a band of ribbon-tied reeding and the detachable wax pans are chased on the under side with foliage.
Although they are unmarked the modelling of the stems of these candlesticks is very similar to that of a set of four candlesticks of 1743 by James Shruder (Charles Truman, The Glory of the Goldsmith: Magnificent Gold and Silver from the Al-Tajir Collection, 1989, p. 120, no. 85) and also to another set of four candlesticks of 1740 also marked by Shruder (Michael Clayton, Christie’s Pictorial History of English and American Silver, 1985, p. 145, no. 11).
