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.
This Swedish chandelier is an antique example from which Wilkinson created a reproduction. Lighter, more delicate metalwork is usually in brass or gilt finish and smaller slender drops were used. Sometimes this style of chandelier would incorporate a blue glass dish or other coloured element.
