The chandelier has an inverted gadrooned corona above a ring-turned baluster shaft. Extending from the central bowl are eight 'S' scrolled candle-arms with dished drip-pans and channelled baluster nozzles above a gadrooned tapering boss and ring.

English, Circa 1775

This particular example may be attributed to John Giles of London.

A 'Giles' chandelier, now in the Temple Newsam Collection, is credited with being the first documented example in which the arms are bolted on to a collar surrounding the globe instead of being hooked onto the stem. This chandelier employs the same technique.

Very few makers of chandeliers are documented but the main centres of manufacture were London, Birmingham, Cheshire and Bristol.
