Lot Essay

Perry & Co., makers of cut-glass chandeliers, lustres and candelabra, were established in 1817 when the firm moved to New Bond Street in London. Formerly named 'Parker & Perry' and founded by William Parker in 1756, the firm received commissions from many prominent patrons including the Royal family. They supplied to the Prince of Wales at Carlton House, and upon Queen Victoria's accession, they were one of two lustre-makers called upon to supply for the Royal household (R. Edwards, , London, 1964, p. 674). There are two patterns for closely related chandeliers contained in a sketch book of drawings for chandeliers and brackets in ormolu and glass compiled between 1867 and 1879 by Mr. Bartlett, who acquired the firm of Perry & Co. in the mid-19th century - now held in the Prints & Drawings Collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (E.2064-1952).
A very similar chandelier by Perry & Co, made in 1850, is illustrated in M. Mortimer Woodbridge, 2000, p.153, pl.91.
A comparable chandelier from the Desmond Heyward collection, from Haseley Court, Oxfordshire, was sold, Christie's, London, 8 June 2021, lot 122 (£27,500 including premium).
