Thomas Abbott was listed as a "Lamp Maker and Brass Founder" of Birmingham in his will dated 12 March 1849 (PROB 11/2089/60). He was registered at premises in Park Street (1818), Moor Street (1823, 1829), 24 and 25 Moor Street (1835) and 24 Moor Street (1839).
The candlesticks are unsigned but were probably made in the workshop of Thomas Abbott, a lamp-maker and brass founder in Birmingham. Abbott produced these whimsical candlesticks as both herons and storks.
