Pair of candlesticks
Paul de Lamerie
1734/35 · Silver · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
The design of these candlesticks follows a conventional model. This pair, however, part of a set of six, is nearly twice the size and weight of a typical example. They were made for a club of High Tory aristocrats called the Honorable Board of Loyal Brotherhood, whose members met for boisterous evenings of wine and conversation.
