A RARE BRAMELD EARTHENWARE CANDELABRUM comprised of nine baluster, globular, shield shaped and cylindrical elements applied with moulded acanthus leaves and flowerheads in yellow and gilt on an apple green ground, on brass foot, 154cm h, printed circular DALE`S PATENT MANUFACTURED AT THE ROYAL ROCKINGHAM WORKS and griffin mark, 1838-42 Provenance: (possibly) anon. sale Sotheby`s, early 20th century, one of a pair of candelabra (see below). Literature: Evans (J G & M I N), Rockingham The Final Fling, NCS Journal 1, 1972-3, pp 63-7, the present example, or its pair, illustrated plts 20A and 22. In February 1838 the Brameld partners entered into an agreement with William Dale of Shelton, Staffordshire to manufacture his patent `Columns, Pillars, Bedposts and other like articles.` The present candelabrum pillar would originally have supported a colza lamp or candle branches and, with its pair, was discussed at length in an article by Mr & Mrs Evans in 1972-3 (see Literature). Since every item was a costly tour de force to produce it is not surprising that few examples of ceramic furniture were made. Even by the 1870s, Llewellyn Jewitt, who not only owned several but also Dale`s designs, was writing in his Ceramic Art of Great Britain that "...they are now of very great rarity.
