International Silver Auction

Palmatoria (or hand-held candlestick) in .925 silver, neoclassical style.

The central column has the shape of a caryatid, which supports the snuffer (where the candle sits) on its head.

Having the original cone-shaped candle snuffer is an excellent detail; many of these are lost over time.

The handle has a zoomorphic form, possibly a griffin or a fantastical creature. It presents a circular base with rope-edged edges (in the form of a cord) typical of late 19th or early 20th-century silverware.

Pay special attention to the photographs as they form part of the description.

Dimensions: 13.5 cm high x 13.5 cm in diameter.

Weight: 194 g.
