Provenance
Eric Manson Collection, Simon Spero exhibition, 2012, no.26

Candlesticks were regarded as luxury items and surviving examples are rare, presumably because they were easily broken. Examples of closely related shape were also made at Worcester and Derby. For another chamberstick of very similar form but with slightly different decoration see the example from the Pinewood Collection sold by Phillips on 31 October 2001, lot 12.
