Pair of George III Antique Silver Candlesticks made in 1785
A pair of exceptional George III neoclassical candlesticks which have fluted tapering columns that are decorated with Adam style motifs onto oval spreading bases.
The oval spreading bases are further ornamented with embossed and subtly concave fluted decoration.
The candlesticks are made in Sheffield in 1785 bearing the mark of the London silversmith, Thomas Daniell.
These candlesticks would have been retailed at his shop “The Silver Lyon” in Foster Lane, close to the Goldsmiths’ Hall. They would almost certainly have been made for him by the well known Sheffield candlestick maker, John Parsons, and Daniell would have struck his mark over the top (a common early form of own branding).
These candlesticks are in excellent condition throughout and still retain their original mahogany wood bases (covered by baize). They are correctly marked on both detachable nozzles.
The candlesticks are struck with the incuse head of George III (only used from December 1784 until May 1786) to show that tax had been paid.
Dimensions: height 28 cm
Thomas Daniell,
Is the son of Jabez Daniell . Free by patrimony, 8 may 1771, as goldsmith, Carey Lane, livery , December 1771. First mark unrecorded, probably in missing register, with his father, c.1771, with whom he appears together as goldsmiths, Carey Lane, in the Parl. Report list 1773.
Second mark, alone, 16 April 1774. Address; 10 Carey Lane. Third mark, 10 May 1775. Fourth mark, in partnership with John Wall, 13June 1781. Foster Lane.
Fifth mark alone, 8 October 1782. Sixth mark, 8 March 1783. Address, 10 Foster Lane. Died between 1795 and 1801.
Heal records him alone at Carey Lane from 1773 to 1774; with Randle Jackson as goldsmiths, 10 Carey Lane, 1778 (partnership dissolved), with John Wall, as silversmith and jewellers, 20 Foster Lane opposite Goldsmiths Hall, 1781-2; alone at Silver Lion, 20Foaster Lane, 1782-93. I have seen a few pieces bearing his mark which are also engraved with his name and last address, an unusual feature, e.g, a cup of 1786 at Lincoln College, Oxford, “Made at the Silver Lyon Foster Lane London”.
