(44.5 x 24.8 cm), Edgar George Papworth Sr. (British, London 1809–1866 London), Edgar George Papworth Sr. was born into a family of noted stucco artists. He himself trained to become a sculptor, although he never appears to have become very successful in his trade. This design for a candelabrum most likely dates from his formative years, made either during his time studying at the Royal Academy (1827-1834) or the subsequent years he spent in Italy on a scholarship granted by the same institute
