An interesting pair of Barr, Flight & Barr (Royal Porcelain Works, Worcester) porcelain candlesticks; each beautifully hand-gilded and decorated individually with a central vertical, rectangular vignette depicting a woodsman and a female with dark, barren surroundings, each with printed marks to underside and individually annotated 'Forth Goes the Woodman, Leaving unconcern'd the cheerful haunts of Man', - Cowper's Poems, the female decorated candlestick annotated to the underside 'Kate is Craze'd' - Cowper's Poems (each approx. 13cm high), the female decorated candlestick with 'pushed in' porcelain candleholder to interior
Condition Report: It should be noted that the candlestick with the female vignette unfortunately has had the wax pushed down too hard thereby breaking the circular interior candleholder within and pushing it down approx. 2cm further than it should. Also please note some rubbing to paintwork on red skirt, upon close inspection the Woodmen example has found to be broken and repaired (just above the second line of applied white spheres, above the base, there is a hairline crack to be found around this full circumference area leading to the obvious conclusion that the candlestick has had a full break and has been re-affixed)
