The original was made for Thornham Hall in Suffolk in 1732 and now hangs at Winterthur, Delaware. This reproduction was commissioned by English Heritage for Chiswick House, London and features lead crystal baluster stem pieces and 10 scrolled arms typical of the shapes used on the earlier 17th century Flemish metal chandeliers.

In the mid 18th century, the components of lead crystal chandeliers became more heavily cut and featured star-shaped drip pans, notched arms and more detailed stem pieces. Top and bottom canopies and pear-shaped drops were added. The reproduction chandelier shown is one of a suite manufactured in the 1970’s to replace those lost in a fire at the Governor’s Mansions in Williamsburg. The style is typical of the period 1750-60.
