Lot 1411
A WILLIAM IV SIX-LIGHT GILT AND DARK BLUE-PAINTED BRONZE AND PAPIER MACHE CHANDELIER first half 19th century, the circular deep dished bowl with foliage-wrapped underside, the upper edge with palmettes and scrolled foliate branches with etched glass later shades, suspended from six chains of interlaced foliage, hung from a turned ceiling boss, now fitted for electricity, lacking interior colza oil fitting and reservoir, 143cm high x 130cm diameter. The design of this chandelier is comparable to the 'design for a lustre or chandelier' that is found on page 47 in 'Tracings by Thomas Wilkinson from the designs of the late Mr. George Bullock 1820'. Notably both designs share a neoclassical aspiration, alluding to works such as the Etruscan Chandelier, in the museum at Cortana (Martin P. Levy, pg179). The scrolling, and richly chased, arms are also reminiscent of the works of Hancock, Shepherd and Rixon, London, who had lighting commissioned for George IV, among others. For a similar example see Chastleton House, Oxfordshire, National Trust 1430194.
