Description

A Set of Three Silver-Plate Three-Light Candelabra

Robert Adam for Matthew Boulton, 18th Century


Height 25 inches.


This lot is located in Chicago.

Condition
The group is not actually a set of three, but comprises a matching pair and a similar third example. The matching pair each have an engraved armorial to the top of their bases. The third example has no engravings. Overall good and usable condition. The bases are quite heavy and sturdy. The candelabrum on the individual example wobbles slightly in its fitting. Areas throughout where the silver plating has been rubbed and the underlying copper-colored metal is visible. Each has a layer of felt applied to the underside.
