A pair of cut-glass girandoles attributed to Parker and Perry of London and made around 1790. Each have four arms, two for candles and the others for the suspension of prism swags. They feature pinecone finials and rest on plinth bases made from alabaster, gilded brass, and blue and white jasper Wedgwood inserts.
Such items were found in wealthy American homes. They could be placed on a fireplace mantle shelf or on a table.
