The design of neo-classical style. On circular bases with acanthus leaf foliate borders, the main shaft fluted, topped with tulip shaped capitals adorned with acanthus border to the bases, with detachable nozzles.

A matching pair of identical design by William Café, London, 1767 and 1771 can be found in the collection of The Israel Museum, Jerusalem [B90.0494(a-d)], engraved with the crest of the Earl of Albemarle. (See additional images). William, with his brother John Café, were the foremost goldsmiths producing candlesticks in the eighteenth century. Therefore, this design would have been known to a maker such as William Cattell.
