Description

A handsome pair of antique silver candle holders with detachable sconces. Very attractive design with a decorative vase shaped stem and shaped bases with shell motifs. This design is repeated on the detachable sconces. Heavy cast silver and good original colour. These are a copy of an earlier design, probably custom made to match an existing pair. There is a similar pair c.1735 in Peter Waldron’s esteemed work “Price Guide to Antique Silver”.
