A magnificent, fine and impressive, composite set of four Victorian English sterling silver candlesticks in the Charles II style; an addition to our Victorian silverware collection
Description
These magnificent antique Victorian candlesticks have been crafted in the Charles II style.
The stepped square capital of each candlestick retains the original hallmarked push fit sconce.
The capitals of these Victorian candlesticks are supported by impressive circular bosses onto cylindrical Doric style columns.
The impressive column of each candlestick surmounts an impressive feature square shaped waisted knop and swept base.
Each candlestick does not have a weighted base.
One pair of candle holders were crafted by George Fox in 1875 and it can be assumed that the owner commissioned the second matching pair, created by Robert Dicker in 1893.
ConditionThese antique Victorian candlesticks are an exceptional gauge of silver, fine quality and in exceptional condition.
The full hallmarks struck to surface of the George Fox pair are all clear; the maker's marks have wear but remains legible.
The pair of candlesticks made by Robert Dicker have full hallmarks struck to the underside; all these hallmarks are very clear.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these examples of antique silverware.
