Pair of Candelabra Sheffield – 1802

A pair of very fine antique silver George III period candelabra with baluster stems and oval bases. The candelabra have fine palmette decoration to the upper part of the base. The lovely design is also repeated on the centre section of the candelabra branches and each of the detachable nozzles. The candelabra are clearly hallmarked on all the detachable nozzles and on the bases and branches. They also have an import mark struck by the English hallmarks; this shows that that they must have been in France in the 19th century. The branches can be removed to leave a beautiful pair of candlesticks. The candelabra are in excellent condition and would be a rare and impressive addition to any dining table or sideboard. Dimensions: height (to sides) 47.75 cm, height (to centre) 42 cm, height (of candlesticks alone) 30 cm, width (of branches) 51.2 cm; weight (of branches) 70 troy oz.
