They are ticketed at A$14,000.00 and now in the window at LaTrobe Antiques at the Grange in Brisbane. Thomas Chippendale's 'Director' has these girendoles illustrated. They aren't mid 18th century but the carving 'ice patterns' are most divine, the gilding is last century as is the old mirror work.
. . . they have been removed from the store's front window - some purchase!
