Lot Essay

The design for these lamps is after Benjamin Vulliamy (d. 1821), 'furniture man' and clock-maker to George, Prince of Wales, later George IV, circa 1800. Their ormolu calix of palm-wrapped Roman acanthus derives from the 'Barberini' Roman tripod-candelabrum that the architect Charles Heathcote Tatham illustrated in his Etchings representing the best examples of Ancient Ornamental Architecture, 1799.
