Pair of silver-plated double candlesticks by OLRI, Italy, dating from circa 1970s, measuring 24.7 cm long, 17.5 cm high and 11.5 cm deep, total weight 1233 g, in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
A fine pair of silver plated double candlesticks, each measuring circa 24,7cm in length and together weighing 1233g, stamped to the underside with OLRI maker´s mark.
The company was founded in 1948 by Rino Greggio, who had been an apprentice silversmith in Padua before the war. It appears that he worked exclusively in silver (typically 800 grade) until 1967, when he launched a line of products in silver plate and chose the brand name "OLRI" to distinguish these from the company's solid silverware. By the 1970s Greggio Argenterie had become a significant player in the manufacture of cutlery and silverware with retail outlets worldwide, including a dedicated department at Harrods of London. The business is still going strong today, although the OLRI brand is no longer used.
Estimated age: Circa 1970s.
Condition: Excellent, no damages or repairs. Minimal wear.
This lot will be carefully packaged and sent by registered and insured mail.
