Jan Willem Burgers registered his mark in 1739, the year he married Anna Margaretha Nulman. Burgers became dean and assay-master of the guild in 1769. He was one of the leading goldsmith of the Hague Rococo style typified by restrained swirling flutes and scrolls, and as such was commissioned by the city most fashionable patrons. This remarkable set of candlesticks are the precursor to all known examples such as the two pairs in the Haags Gemeentemuseum dated 1761 and 1767 (Jet Pijzel Domisse, Haags goud en zilver-Edelsmeedkunst uit de Hofstad, Zwolle Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, 2005, pp. 283-284, no. 227 and 228) but also to another set sold at Christie's, Amsterdam, 13 November 2001, lot 317, dated 1754 and a set of four dated 1763 and sold at Christie's, Amsterdam, 20 November 2012, lot 84.
