---------------------------------------

Deux grands candélabres à trois lumières en argent formant paire, l’un par John Scofield, Londres, 1791 et l’autre par Richard Cook, Londres, 1807

le pied orné d’une frise de feuilles de laurier et d’une moulure de perles, les branches feuillagées, le pied gravé d’armoiries

Haut. 56 cm ; poids des deux 7910 g

Condition Report:
The Scofield candelabrum engraved under the base N°1 64,,12. The Cook one engraved under the base N°2 72,,0.
Both in overall good condition, some dents on both bases, usual minor scratches. One strange dent under one foot rim. Fully marked on foot rims, the two large candlesticks nozzles and branch bases. Both branches with Scofield marks. The small nozzles on branches apparently unmarked but engraved with same crests (griffon head) than on large nozzles.
Nice and heavy quality set.

Catalogue Note:
The coat-of-arms are those of Hoare with another in pretence.

The model for these candelabra was inspired by the work of Robert Adam in the 1760s, a very similar drawing of which is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (8389.20). This model became very popular and silversmiths were quick to produce variants, including Boulton, Daniel Smith and John Scofield, who in 1781 produced a set of candlesticks decorated with laurel leaves for William Beckford, one of the greatest English collectors of the late eighteenth century. There are at least eighteen surviving examples, including a pair dated 1781, sold at Christie's Paris, collection of Madame Nelia Barletta de Cates, 18th March 2003, lot 319.

Scofield made a speciality of this model in the form of a candlestick or two-light candelabra, as is the case with our lot.

---------------------------------------

Les armoiries appartiennent à la famille Hoare et une autre non identifée.

Le modèle de ces candélabres s'inspire du travail de Robert Adam dans les années 1760 dont un dessin très proche est conservé au Victoria and Albert Museum (8389.20). Ce modèle devient très populaire et les orfèvres en produisent très rapidement des variantes tels Boulton, Daniel Smith et John Scofield qui réalise en 1781 un ensemble de flambeaux balustres ornés de feuilles de laurier pour William Beckford, l'un des plus grands collectionneurs anglais de la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Encore au moins dix-huit flambeaux sont recensés aujourd'hui dont une paire, datée 1781, fut vendue chez Christie's Paris, collection de Madame Nelia Barletta de Cates, 18 mars 2003, lot 319.

Scofield se fait une spécialité de ce modèle en flambeau ou en candélabres à deux lumières comme c'est le cas pour notre lot.
