description
The lower ormolu mounts to the socles are of later date.
The design drawing for these candle vases is one of a small group of drawings for unidentified pieces assembled by Nicholas Goodison in his book on the work of Matthew Boulton. Most of the other drawings allocate specific objects to each design.
