This monumental candelabrum exemplifies the designs of Augustus Welby Northmore Pugun (1812–1852), who was the leading exponent of the Gothic Revival style in England. Pugin’s work is central to the transformation in British design that began in the mid-nineteenth century. He admired what he saw as the honesty and purity of medieval art, and deplored the meaningless repetition of historical motifs. Pugin coined the phrase "Brumagen Gothic," referring to "those inexhaustible mines of bad taste, Birmingham." He designed fittings of all kinds including furniture, textiles and stained glass for church interiors, private homes and government buildings (most famously the House of Lords.) This candelabrum is related to the model he produced for the Palace of Westminster.
