Pair of Silver Candelabra by Thomas Bradbury
About the Item
This important set of George V silver candelabra by famed English silversmiths Thomas Bradbury & Sons are some of the finest the firm ever created. A high level of refinement is imparted into this weighty six-light design. Based on the early 17th-century models of Dutch and English ball chandeliers, the foot and stem are elevated by their elegant simplicity, while the six reaching arms feature dangling silver drop pendants. Commissioned as a gift from George Cole Scott of Henrico County, VA to his wife Hildreth on the occasion of their silver wedding on September 27, 1930, this two-piece set represents the very highest quality and artistry of the firm’s output from the period.
The origins of silversmiths and Sheffield Plate makers Thomas Bradbury & Sons can be traced to the late 18th century, when the firm was known as Fenton, Creswick & Co., one of the original companies to enter a mark at the newly opened Sheffield assay office in 1773. Active between 1795 and 1943, the firm’s nearly 150-year legacy of craftsmanship is highlighted in this sophisticated candelabra set.

- Rococo Silver Candlesticks by Alexander JohnsonBy Alexander JohnstonLocated in New Orleans, LAAn outstanding pair of sterling silver candlesticks by English silversmith Alexander Johnston. Reflecting the mid-18th century Georgian taste for the Rococo style, these candlesticks feature deeply chased decoration, from shells and palms to acanthus and rosettes, as well as an engraved armorial on each pedestal. Their exuberant yet balanced design is characteristic of the sophisticated style brought to England by French Huguenot silversmiths in the 1700s. Alexander Johnston first entered his mark in 1747 and work such as his, as well as that of artists like the celebrated Paul de Lamerie, indicated the adoption of French forms in all of the decorative arts, from furniture to textiles, hailing the dramatic shift from the more restrained classical manner. Excellent condition. Hallmarked London, 1751 10 ¾” high Reference: English goldsmiths and their marks, 2nd ed., 1921, Sir Charles James Jackson.Category

- 18th Century Russian Figural Bronze CandelabraLocated in New Orleans, LAThe epitome of Russian craftsmanship, this majestic and incredibly rare pair of candelabra would have been fit for the Czar. These superb Louis XVI style figural bronze candelabra were created in the Neoclassical taste that permeated Russia during the late 18th century. The chiselled gilt bronze work is in a class all its own – a trademark of only the most exceptional Russian ormolu craftsmen. Elegant patinated bronze nudes hold aloft delicate gilt bronze branches accentuated by gilt chains. Elevated atop classical columns crafted of polished gray marble, these lights perfectly express the outstanding grace and luxurious artistry of Russian decorative art. In France during the late 18th century, Neoclassicism emerged as the most popular style after the exuberance of Rococo during the reign of Louis XV. The emphasis was on simplicity, straight lines and symmetry. Slenderness of proportion was stressed in furniture and decorating, and these patterns extended to other areas of the arts. French design taste has historically spread and influenced styles throughout Europe, and Russia in particular has a long history of adopting foreign stylistic trends considered to be the epitome of grand taste.
