A Pair of George II Antique English Silver Candelabra

A Pair of George II Antique English Silver Candelabra

Height: 14 1/2"

description

Each with baluster stem on shaped foot cast with shells, the removable branches centered with a daisy finial, and flanked by two curving branches, drip pans and nozzles, with foliate decoration throughout, engraved with a crest.



The crest is that of Pitt, presumably for Thomas Pitt (1737-1793) who was created Baron Camelford in 1784, or, for his son Thomas, second Baron, who died in 1804 when the Barony became extinct.



A similar pair of candelabra by Francis Butty and Nicholas Dumee, 1757, with similar finials are in the possession of the National Trust and Anglesey Abbey, Cambridgeshire.
