William Parker supplied a similar pair of candelabra to the Duke of Devonshire for Chatsworth, Derbyshire. A diagram by Parker for a comparable type of candelabra is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The two small canopies each have a hairline crack; one top and one small canopy have been re-spiked.
