Pictured is one of a magnificent set of three large Adam style chandeliers in blue lead crystal, each with 24 lights arranged on 2 tiers with an additional 6 upper arms fitted with decorative triangular spikes.
The largest Adam style chandeliers ever made by the company and were accompanied by a set of 12 matching wall lights of equally impressive proportions. The work took a total of 18 months to complete.
One of these chandeliers is currently hanging at The Corn Exchange in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Many of the Adam chandeliers that Wilkinson produce have two tiers with the lower arms holding candles and the upper tier features the distinctive spikes. This example however is unique in that it has two clearly definable tiers. It also features the neo-classical inspired urns and pear pendants.
