George III Pair of Ormolu and Marble Chambers Pattern Griffin Candlesticks

About the Item

An extremely fine pair of George III ormolu and marble chambers pattern griffin candlesticks. In the famous William Chambers pattern. Sir William Chambers was the court architect to George III and produced many designs for Matthew Boulton. These are a lovely pair of the most beautiful and elegant of neo classical candlesticks. Set on rectangular white marble bases with an ormolu leaf and bead moulding. The griffin sits upon an ormolu plate. The patinated bronze griffin beautifully modeled, sits with head raised, wings open and crest up. His tail becomes a gilt bronze swirl of acanthus. On the griffin's head sits the finely tooled candlestick with concentric circles of beading, waves and shells. The drip pans below are of leaf formation.
