The Sampaio Candelabra Centrepieces
The grandeur of the Regency period was never better represented than in the quality, scale, proportions, and masterful workmanship of this monumental pair of candelabra centrepieces that we proudly present as my Director’s Choice this week. A celebration of the fruits of the earth to be enjoyed in the banqueting halls of Casa Palmela in Lisbon, the home of Henrique Teixeira de Sampaio, 1st Conde de Póvoa and Barao de Teixeira. They formed part of one of the most important services ever produced by Paul Storr immediately after his time had finished with the retail firm Rundell Bridge and Rundell. Here Storr truly shows his virtuosity and ability, and no detail is spared given the scale of these masterpieces of the decorative works of art.
