Specialist note

This pair of candelabra is one of our favorites. Delomosne & Son, from whom we purchased them, carried a fine inventory of porcelain and china but of all the antique dealers we have dealt with, I am unaware of any other shop that consistently stocked such high quality eighteenth-century English glass.
