Place of origin |
Candlestick, one of a set of four, silver, circular foot, cast, turned and chased with a border frieze of large and small alternating acanthus leaves on a matted ground, rising to two plain ribs surrounding a plain sunken well. This rises to a reeded baluster bound with fillets, just below the join of the two cast vertical sections making up the stems and nozzles. The stem is of tapering cylindrical form lightly fluted, rising to s straight gadrooned shoulder, a frieze of concave indentations below. The nozzles stands on a narrow collar, the lower part decorated en suite with the border of the foot, plain above with a moulded rim. The well within each foot is engraved on the one side with a crest consisting of s mural crown, a talbot's head within facing left, and on the other side the Bridge crest, added about 1810. The greasepans have beaded edges and also bear the Bridge crest.
