See illustration (a three page spread with a black and white view of Newton Surmaville as the right hand page followed by the description on the left hand page and an image of the candlesticks on the facing right hand page. The image of Newton Surmaville House can be taken from the catalogue that we did of the pewter earlier in the year and the caption on it should read: The Newton Surmaville Candlesticks)
No other candlesticks of this date appear to be recorded on this scale. Stylistically they appear to be English, but elements of the construction suggest Continental manufacture. A Scandinavian origin has been proposed, but this is not accepted by a leading specialist in Scandinavian metalwork. It seems quite possible that these enigmatic candlesticks were manufactured in England by an émigré craftsman during the last quarter of the 17th century.
