The Tapersticks stand on square stepped bases, below a swirl fluted section, which is decorated with a bold gadrooned band. The beautifully shaped stems are also decorated with swirl fluted sections and corded bands. The detachable nozzles, again, display, swirl fluting with scroll ends. The Tapersticks are of a good weight and are fully marked in the base. This design was not produced in great quantity, mostly in the 1760s and early 1770s and examples are very desirable today, we have probably only offered three pairs over the years. It is also less common to find Tapersticks in pairs as they often come singly. The sockets and nozzles are both engraved with a set of contemporary script initials. Ebenezer Coker was a specialist Candlestick maker of fine quality and had workshops in Clerkenwell Green when these Tapersticks were made.
