Pair of George III Chamber Candlesticks, London, 1818 by William Burwash

About the Item

These exceptionally fine George III Chamber Candlesticks were made in London in 1818 by William Burwash. The Chambersticks have circular bases which display a raised border unusually decorated with gadrooning, scrolls, trailing vines and grapes, in addition to raying shells. The baluster shaped stem rises to a capital decorated with lobing and each pull-off nozzle displays a rim decorated with gadrooning, shells and scrolls. The harp shaped handle displays a leaf capped top and the conical shaped extinguisher has a gadrooned rim and terminates in a bud finial. The extinguisher is attached to the handle with a foliate moulding. Both the base of the chamberstick, the nozzle and extinguisher are engraved with a contemporary Crest. The Chambersticks are in excellent condition and each piece is very well marked with a full set of hallmarks. William Burwash was a fine maker, working in the circle of Paul Storr, from workshops at 14, Bartholomew Close, when these pieces were made. The Chambersticks are of a beautiful design which characterises the Regency period. Measures: Height: 3.7 inches, 9.25 cm. Diameter of the base: 6.1 inches, 15.25 cm. Weight: 31oz, the pair.

  • Pair of George III Cased Tea Caddies, London, 1793, William Frisbee
    By William Frisbee 1
    Located in London, GB
    The Faulkbourne hall cased tea caddies. An important and very unusual pair of George III tea caddies made in London in 1793 by William Frisbee, all contained within a contemporary velvet and silk lined satinwood case. The hinges and handle also hallmarked for 1793. The pair of tea caddies are of an unusual oval form with upwardly curved rim. The sides are beautifully engraved with an upper and lower band of bright cut scrolls and foliate motifs on a scratch engraved and prick dot ground. Each side is engraved with an unusual bright cut cartouche with incuse corners. One cartouche is vacant and the other is engraved with a contemporary Scottish Crest with the motto "Nil Conscrire Sibi - Consious of no Wrong " above. The curved, slightly domed, cover is engraved with an outer band identical to those shown on the sides and terminates in a Neo Classical urn finial, also engraved with bright cut designs. The caddies are most unusual as they open from the side, not in the usual manner from the front. The caddies are each in excellent condition and are fully marked in the foot and with the maker's mark and sterling mark on the cover. The pair of caddies are contained within a most breathtaking satinwood case with hallmarked hinges and escutcheon shaped handle and reeded oval mounts. It is most unusual to find fully hallmarked hinges, and handle, which accurately date the case, as the same date as the caddies. The interior is lined with the original silk, velvet and gold braid. The Crest and Motto are those of Lieut-Col Jonathan Bullock of Faulkbourne Hall, County Essex. He was M.P. for Essex in many parliaments and, in 1763, married Miss Elizabeth Lante. He died without issue in 1809 and his estates devolved upon his nephew Jonathan Joshua Christopher Watson who, in 1810, assumed the surname and Arms of Bullock by Royal Licence. The Bullock family were descended from Robert Bullock of Herburghfield, County Berkshire. He was Sheriff of County Berks and Oxford under Richard II. He died in 1405. Faulkbourne Hall is a Grade 1 listed Manor House in the village of Faulkbourne in Essex, the manor being first mentioned under Edward the Confessor. The earliest surviving parts of the Hall, a red brick building with turrets, date from the 15th century. Sir Edward Bullock, Knight, purchased the Hall and Manor of Faulkbourne in 1637. The hall is considered a fine specimen of early Tudor red...
