專家說明

A related design for a griffin candlestick was illustrated by Sir William Chambers in the third edition of his Treatise on Civil Architecture in 1791. The design is an additional plate illustrating 'ornamental utensils, designed for the Earl of Charlemont, for Lord Melbourne, and for some decorations for my own house'. Matthew Boulton made several 'griffin' vases and it is possible that Chambers provided him with the design or model (N. Goodison, Matthew Boulton: Ormolu, London, 2002, pp. 40-41 & 85-86, pls. 13-14 & 48-50).
A very similar example was sold from the Humphery Whitbread Collection, Christie's, London, 5 April 2001, lot 352. Other comparable pairs sold Christie's, London, 9 June 2005, lot 266 and 13 July 2017, lot 142.
