A very fine English Regency six branch crystal waterfall chandelier the four tiers profusely hung with pendant and bead drops, each solid arm with vase shaped candle holders and hung with further bead and pendant drops.
English, circa 1825.

We have believe that this chandelier may have been designed by John Blades, as there is an almost identical design for a chandelier in the V&A archives.

Note: Very similar chandeliers can be seen in the Blue Room, of Castle Howard, and in the Drawing Room of Burton Agnes both in Yorkshire .

A most attractive patinated bronzed cast-iron Baroque style figure of a small girl reminiscent of the illustration by Emile Bayard of the child Cosette from Victor Hugo's " Les Miserables". It was almost certainly made by the Coalbrookdale Foundry. There are holes in the base which point to it once being part of a larger piece and the figure of the girl is identical to the one depicted in the fourth image below of a Coalbrookdale fountain base which sold at Sothebys Billingshurst on 26th May 1987.

English, the Diamond Foundry mark on the base indicates1854 image five attached below.

A pair of fine bronze amorial gate post finials in the form of mythological goats with cloven hooves each holding elaborately scrolled cartouche with mounted sextupled shields bearing two heart gules ensigned with a royal crown, a rampant lion, three roses, and two rows of stars. The first quarter represents the arms of Douglas described as: Argent, a heart imperially crowned proper[i.e. gules, crowned gold] on a chief azure three mullets (stars) of the field. Sir James Douglas known as “the good” made the journey to the Holy Land while carrying the Heart of Robert the Bruce in the 13th century, perhaps this explains his family arms. Beneath this, is the arms of Dunbar, a rampant lion bordered by roses. Sir James was married in 1372 to Agnes Dunbar, daughter of Sir Patrick Dunbar. The top right quarter is believed to be the arms of the Fraser clan.

Mounted on temporary stone blocks.
