The International Exhibition: candelabrum by Messrs. Garrard...for Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: candelabrum by Messrs. Garrard for His Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, 1862. The style is purely Hindoo, each candelabrum representing a pavilion fountain, in which are introduced the four chief [Hindu] deities: Brahma the first, Vishnu the Pervader, Siva the Destroyer, and Ganessa, the God of Wisdom. The superstructure is formed by the peculiarly-clustered spire, surmounted by the triple umbrella, denoting, in the curious Eastern fashion, the power of Royalty, over which is the peacock - an emblem, we are assured, of sovereignty and immortality...In carrying out and designing these candelabra the manufacturers have to acknowledge the assistance rendered by the works of Daniell, Garbet, Fergusson, as well as information and corrections rendered by the late Professor Wilson. The candelabra are, we need not say, thoroughly characteristic; and, although by far too elaborate and highly ornamented to please an English eye, yet, not doubt, they will be thoroughly appreciated by the Potentate for whose especial use they are designed. The work, which is exceedingly elaborate, is carefully finished throughout'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases the exquisite candelabrum created by Messrs. Garrard for His Highness Maharajah Dhuleep Singh in 1862, showcased at The International Exhibition. The candelabrum, a fusion of Hindu and Western design, represents a unique blend of Eastern and Western artistic influences. Each candelabrum is intricately designed to represent a pavilion fountain, featuring the four chief Hindu deities: Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, and Ganesha. The superstructure is adorned with a peculiarly-clustered spire, topped with a triple umbrella, symbolizing the power of royalty, and a peacock, an emblem of sovereignty and immortality. The creation of these candelabra required the assistance of various sources, including the works of Daniell, Garbet, and Fergusson, as well as valuable information and corrections from the late Professor Wilson. The manufacturers meticulously carried out and designed these elaborate pieces, resulting in a work that is a true testament to the intricacy and beauty of Eastern art. Although the design may be too elaborate and ornate for a Western audience, it is sure to be thoroughly appreciated by Maharajah Dhuleep Singh for whom it was intended. The candelabra, with their intricate detailing and elaborate finish, are a stunning representation of the fusion of Eastern and Western artistic influences during the 19th century.
