An exceptionally fine & very unusual pair of early George III cast Candlesticks made in London in 1769 by William Cattell.

These very unusual Candlesticks stand on a hexagonal domed base decorated with gadrooned borders and raying Rococo shells. The elegant baluster stems are decorated with gadrooned bands, in addition to attractive leaf capped motifs. The six sided detachable nozzles have a gadrooned border and are engraved with a contemporary Crest, as is the base. The Candlesticks are in excellent crisp condition and both are very well marked in the foot and with the sterling mark on the nozzles. This is a very unusual design, which does not appear on the market often.

Height: 11.25 inches, 28.13cm.
Base Diameter: 5.9 inches, 14.75cm.
Weight: 28oz the pair.
