AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of antique candlesticks in sterling silver with hallmarks.
Description of the article
For sale, a refined pair of candlesticks in sterling silver (purity 925/1000, as indicated by the visible hallmarks), dating presumably to the Victorian or Edwardian period (late 19th – early 20th century).
These antique items feature a classic, minimalist design, characterized by a cylindrical shaft that widens into a solid molded circular base. The timeless style adapts perfectly to both classical and contemporary interiors.
Details:
Material: Sterling silver (925‰). Please note that, as is typical for candlesticks of this type, the base is weighted ("weighted base") to ensure stability, and they are therefore not entirely made of solid silver.
Estimated period: late 19th century / early 20th century.
Features: They display fascinating signs of age and a natural patina of oxidation that attest to their authenticity and history (the exact condition is visible in the photo). The edges of the base are finished with simple moldings.
Punch (Hallmarks): The marks on the silver object indicate British origin, the silver fineness, the year of production, and the silversmith.
Trademark Details
Anchor: This is the mark of the Birmingham Assay Office, England.
Walking Lion: A symbol certifying that the silver is of Sterling fineness (925 thousandths, i.e., 92.5% pure silver).
Letter "I": This letter identifies the year of production. The exact dating depends on the specific alphabetical sequence used by the Birmingham office in that period, but it is a key indicator for experts.
Silversmith's mark (on the left): The initials "W & H" (or similar) identify the maker or the specific silversmith who created the object.
These marks confirm that it is a piece of solid sterling silver of English manufacture.
Ideal for: collectors of antique silver, lovers of period-style furnishings, a luxury gift.
