介绍（中）	老埃德加·乔治·帕普沃斯出生于一个著名的灰泥艺术家家庭。他自己接受过培训，成为一名雕塑家，尽管他似乎从未在他的行业中取得过很大的成功。这种烛台的设计很可能可以追溯到他的成长时期，要么是在皇家学院（1827-1834）学习期间，要么是在意大利获得同一研究所颁发的奖学金的随后几年。该设计让人想起烛台的古董和经典设计，因为它们由乔瓦尼·巴蒂斯塔·皮拉内西（Giovanni Battista Piranesi）在其有影响力的系列Vasi，烛台，cippi，石棺（...（花瓶，烛台，墓碑石棺（...）），于1778年在罗马出版。这两只鸟的加入特别让人想起皮拉内西的两个烛台之一，现在保存在牛津的阿什莫林博物馆。然而，帕普沃斯以不同的方式使用他的鸟，使它们在烛台的支撑结构中发挥更重要的作用。让他们的浮动腿放在花瓶上是一个机智的解决方案，可以为他的设计带来更多的平衡，否则他的设计在基础结构中可能会显得有些脆弱。
介绍（英）	Edgar George Papworth Sr. was born into a family of noted stucco artists. He himself trained to become a sculptor, although he never appears to have become very successful in his trade. This design for a candelabrum most likely dates from his formative years, made either during his time studying at the Royal Academy (1827-1834) or the subsequent years he spent in Italy on a scholarship granted by the same institute. The design brings to mind Antique and classicizing designs for candelabra as they were published by Giovanni Battista Piranesi in his influential series Vasi, candelabra, cippi, sarcophagi (…) (Vases, candelabra, grave stones sarcophagi (…)), which was published in Rome in 1778. The inclusion of the two birds specifically recalls one of two candelabra by Piranesi which are now kept in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Papworth uses his birds in a different way however, giving them a more essential role within the supporting structure of the candelabrum. Letting their floating leg rest on a vase is a witty solution to bring more balance to his design, which might otherwise have appeared somewhat frail in its base structure.
