The International Exhibition: candelabrum by Messrs. Garrard...for Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: candelabrum by Messrs. Garrard for His Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, 1862. The style is purely Hindoo, each candelabrum representing a pavilion fountain, in which are introduced the four chief [Hindu] deities: Brahma the first, Vishnu the Pervader, Siva the Destroyer, and Ganessa, the God of Wisdom. The superstructure is formed by the peculiarly-clustered spire, surmounted by the triple umbrella, denoting, in the curious Eastern fashion, the power of Royalty, over which is the peacock - an emblem, we are assured, of sovereignty and immortality...In carrying out and designing these candelabra the manufacturers have to acknowledge the assistance rendered by the works of Daniell, Garbet, Fergusson, as well as information and corrections rendered by the late Professor Wilson. The candelabra are, we need not say, thoroughly characteristic; and, although by far too elaborate and highly ornamented to please an English eye, yet, not doubt, they will be thoroughly appreciated by the Potentate for whose especial use they are designed. The work, which is exceedingly elaborate, is carefully finished throughout'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
