Pair of Glass Candlesticks, Davidson Chippendale, 1930s

A pair of glass candlesticks modelled in a distinctive art deco style with a hexagonal central shaft topped with a nozzle, with angular trophy form handles to the sides and wide flaring bases. This pair comes from the ‘Chippendale’ range produced by the glass manufacturer Davidson in the late 1930s. George Davidson founded the Teams Flint Glass Works in 1867, which later became known as George Davidson & Co. In the 1880s the company began producing pressed glass tableware in a variety of shapes and by the 1920s their designs began to reflect the new Art Deco trends. The firm continued production until the 1980s, closing in 1987.

Chippendale glass was designed and patented in the USA in the early years of the 20th Century and imported into Britain. The moulds were purchased by a Charles Pratt and Davidson’s used them to produce this range of glassware purchasing the exclusive rights to manufacture Chippendale glass when they realised its popularity. Various forms were included in the range and manufactured by the pressed glass technique for which the firm had become famous. The mould marks of this pair can be clearly seen at the bases (see image 4). The clean angular lines are typical of art deco designs and Davidson’s produced here a model which was both practical and decorative.
