Branches, with lion and makers mark only, circa 1780.

Sterling silver.

These attractive silver candelabra are in very good condition. The candlesticks are fully stamped underneath the rim with clear English hallmarks for London 1782, maker John Scofield. All pieces making up the branches (2 branch base nozzles, 2 snuffers, 4 candle nozzles) are marked with the lion and part makers mark "S". The branches, while not original to the candlesticks, are contemporary and match well. Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item.
