AN EXTREMELY RARE PORTABLE SHADE, Dublin c.1770, unidentified mark of I.W., with folding circular poplin screen and detachable and adjustable right angled branch, the whole contained in a lidded cylindrical case, (c.167g all in). 13.5cm highProvenance: This is one of a unique pair, the other being in the National Museum. This example is from the Collection of the Late Dr Kurt Ticher, who states 'These came originally from Carton House'. In 500 Years of Irish Silver, (Delamer & O'Brien, 2005 p186), a publication to mark the exhibition of the same name at the National Museum of Ireland, the authors describe the sister shade as follows: Pleated poplin shade (a modern replacement) attached to two arms and opening fan-wise to a full circle, the arms meeting together; is inserted into a bracket at the opposite end of which is an adjustable clamp fitting the candlestick; the cylindrical container holds the closed shade and arms when folded. This description along with the illustration above help us to imagine how the shade would have been used to shield a candle's flame in the draughty Carton House home of the Dukes of Leinster during the 18th century.
