These candelabra are based on a model by celebrated French silversmith Robert-Joseph Auguste. A set of four, of 1767, made by Auguste for the 1st Earl of Harcourt (1714-1777) were sold, Sotheby's, London, 10 June 1993, lot 103. Auguste's work was well-represented in his collection, reflecting Lord Harcourt's Francophile taste and his time in Paris as ambassador to the court of Louis XV from 1768 to 1772. Edward Wakelin and John Parker supplied his ambassadorial dinner service, in the French style.
