About the Item

These spectacular George II-era silver candlesticks by celebrated silversmith Paul de Lamerie were made for a member of the Duncombe family and feature finely crafted Rococo designs. Adorned with a lavish shell motif, accented by rocaille flourishes and foliage against a flat chased scallop ground, these candlesticks are at once uninhibited and balanced, beautifully demonstrating de Lamerie's genius for rich, organic design. Excellent condition. One of the leading English silversmiths in the first half of the 18th century, Paul de Lamerie was renowned for his technical proficiency and innovative designs using natural forms. Although hi's early works were simple, unornamented shapes, by the 1730s, he was one of the first English silversmiths to work in the ornate Rococo style. One of the most highly regarded silversmiths of his time, de Lamerie was patronized by the Goldsmith's Company and members of the British aristocracy such as Robert Walpole, first Earl of Orford, and Philip Dormer Stanhope, fourth Earl of Chesterfield. Today, de Lamerie's pieces are among the most extraordinary and recognized works of any silver collection. Many of his pieces are prized possessions of several museums and decorative art collections including London's Victoria & Albert Museum, the Royal Museum of Scotland (Edinburgh), London's Goldsmith's Company, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Frick Collection in New York. Provenance: The crest is that of Duncombe, possibly for Thomas Duncombe of Duncombe Park, Yorkshire who succeeded his father in 1746 and married three times, to Diana daughter of the Earl of Carlisle in 1740, Miss Clarke daughter of Sir Philip Jennings-Clarks Bt and Charlotte daughter of William Hale of Kings Walden. He died in 1799. He was the father of Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, a Member of Parliament known for his radical politics championing the cause of the poor and working classes, as well as for his dandified dress and lifestyle.

Rococo Silver Candlesticks by Alexander Johnson

By Alexander Johnston

Located in New Orleans, LA

An 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.

19th Century Viennese Enamel Candlesticks

Located in New Orleans, LA

Splendid continuous hand-painted scenes adorn these graceful and rare Viennese silver and enamel candlesticks. Adorned with scenes of gods and goddesses from classical mythology, these lights are executed with exceptional detail and artistry. A fantastic testament to the skilled artisans of Austria, they exemplify remarkable design and craftsmanship. Enameling is one of the oldest forms of decorative art with examples dating back almost 3,000 years to Mycenaean Greece. The methods used in the enameling process have changed very little since that time. Enamel is actually glass colored with metallic pigments that are fused to metal by firing. Because different colors fire at different temperatures, it was essential that the artist paint the colors that required the highest heat first, adding the others in descending order of their firing temperature. The forte of the Viennese enamellers...
