Provenance

The Collection of Lord and Lady Weinstock, Bowden Park, Wiltshire

This is a rare example of a wall-light of this neoclassical design and large scale, beautifully proportioned and fluently carved. It shows abundantly the influence of Robert Adam, replete with the antique ornament he popularised and bearing particular relation to his designs for girandoles of 1774 and 1778 for Derby House and Apsley House.1
