The design for these candlesticks is first seen on a pair of candelabra marked for the French silversmith Robert-Joseph Auguste, Paris, 1767, now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (48.187.389a,b). Auguste used the design again for the candelabra in the service ordered by George III for use at Hanover in the 1770s.
Garrard also copied other French 18th candlestick designs including a Regence pair by Gabriel Gallois, Paris, 1716 (Christie's, New York, 1 December 2004, lot 767), to which they had added branches in London in 1835; they made copies of this model throughout the 19th century.
