The I*H mark has previously been tentatively attributed to John Horsley, however the presence of this mark on this pair of candlesticks and its sconce demonstrates that this mark is definitely actually that of John Hyatt as separate from his short-lived partnership with Charles Semore, which given extant examples appears to have disbanded in 1760. This mark would have been in the lost large workers register of 1758-1773 and its presence on the main candlestick as well as the partnership mark can be explained by the modular construction of cast candlesticks within one workshop.
