Provenance: Sold with the original Bill of Sale from Stannus (Mrs Graydon Stannus) 23 Earl's Court Square, London SW5, dated December 9th 1929 where they are described as "A set of three rare Waterford tablelights of 1780 draped with chaining pear-drops and faceted pendants. £200".
On the basis of this description is it clear that there was originally an additional table lustre which is now missing.
