Pair of Regency Cut-Glass Candelabra by John Blades
About the Item
A rare pair of Regency twin-light gilt bronze mounted, pillar and file cut, glass candelabra by John Blades.
The firm of John Blades was first recorded in the London guide for 1783 at 5 Ludgate Hill, remaining at this address until 1829. The firm built an extensive overseas business in the Middle East and India, opening a branch in Calcutta in partnership with a Mr Matthews. He was closely associated with the architect J. B. Papworth, who is recorded as being involved in a number of innovative designs for Blades’ firm, in particular the invention of the rule-cut drop known as a ‘lob’. Papworth also designed new showrooms for John Blades, which were illustrated in Ackermans Repository.
