Lot Essay

Charles Frederick Kandler, born Carl Rudolph, was the older brother of the famous porcelain modeller, Johann Joachim Kandler. He had been apprenticed under the Dresden court silversmith, Johann Jacob Irminger, who was also artistic director of the Meissen factory and supplied many designs for porcelain. Kandler brought a Dresden-influenced style to England when he emigrated before 1727, entering his mark at Goldsmiths' Hall that year. His models were also influenced by porcelain designs.
