A pair of Colefax & Fowler converted 18th century candle stick table lamps with later black shades.

Founded in the 1930s by Sibyl, Lady Colefax (1874-1950). In 1938, she was joined in the business by John Fowler, and the business became known as Colefax & Fowler. In 1944, the business, managed by Fowler, took a lease on 39 Brook Street, Mayfair where it remained until December 2016. Also in 1944, Colefax sold the business to Nancy Tree (Nancy Lancaster as she became in 1948) for a sum in the order of £10,000. This trio were probably the founders of what is now commonly referred to as 'interior design'.
