A PAIR OF GEORGE V SILVER-GILT CANDLESTICKS, AFTER A MODEL BY PAUL DE LAMERIE
A pair of caryatid candelabra by Paul de Lamerie, 1747/1748, with bases and stems of nearly identical design to the present lot, are in the collection of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts, and are illustrated in P. A. S. Phillips, Paul de Lamerie, Citizen and Goldsmith of London, London, 1935, pl. CLIII. Phillips notes the French influence in their conception and describes them as 'decidedly spectacular and un-English'. The Williamstown candelabra are un-gilded.
