Pair of candelabra

1848

RCIN 41311

Prince Albert’s interest in the application of advanced technology to modern design is exemplified by these candelabra by the celebrated Birmingham manufacturer. They demonstrate Osler’s skill in prismatic glass-cutting using power-driven lathes, and like their famous glass fountain, were a much-remarked feature of the Great Exhibition.

Commissioned by Prince Albert and presented to Queen Victoria on her birthday, 24 May 1848

No. 170
