Pair of candlesticks

Paul de Lamerie British

Not on view

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.

Pair of candlesticks, Paul de Lamerie (British, 1688–1751, active 1712–51), Silver, British, London
