A George III ormolu mounted cut glass eight light chandelier attributed to William Parker.
Because of their fragility, chandeliers from the 18th century rarely survive. We have taken great care in this case to preserve the original as much as possible, but five nozzles, four drip pans, two candle arms and the small canopy are of later date.
