About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive, unusual pair of contemporary English sterling silver candlesticks; an addition to our collection of ornamental silver candle holders. These exceptional and unusual contemporary sterling silver candlesticks have a plain globular form. The surface of each candle holder is plain and unembellished, fitted with three exceptional three-dimensional figurines realistically modelled in the form of dragons rampant. The hallmarks struck to these exceptional candlesticks include: Maker's Mark: outline of guernsey with BR (Bruce Russell*) Assay mark: Crest of Guernsey: Royal seal of Edward I Date mark: W (1997) Silver quality/purity mark: .925 SILVER (sterling, 925/1000) Such a combination bespoke style of candlestick is rare the market. * Bruce Russell is a Guernsey silversmith who revived hallmarking in the Channel Islands, including devising a dating system with 'A' starting in 1975. Condition These contemporary sterling silver dragon candle holders are an excellent gauge of silver, excellent quality and in excellent condition. Full Guernsey hallmarks struck to the surface of each candle holder are all very clear.

Antique Sterling Silver Candelabra
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of versatile antique English sterling silver three-light candelabra; an addition to our diverse candle holders collection. These exceptional antique cast sterling silver candelabra have a classical square form to a knopped column onto a stepped swept square foot, in the highly desirable classic English style. Each impressive three light candelabrum retains the original hallmarked detachable push fit scrolling leaf decorated arms. The branches (labra) support two circular waisted capitals, each encompassed with bands of applied gadroon decoration. The capitals are fitted with the original hallmarked push fit square-shaped sconces, embellished with an undulating swept decoration. Each capital of these antique candelabra centrepieces surmounts an impressive square drip pan, featuring identical ornamentation to that of the sconces. Each Victorian candelabrum is fitted with a third detachable central elevated capital and drip pan. These versatile three-light Victorian candelabra can be used as silver candlesticks once the arms are detached. The panelled waisted column of each candlestick is encompassed with further undulating ornamentation and gadroon decoration to the knops. The spiralling swept portion of the foot surmounts a plain stepped base, embellished with gadroon decoration to a plain collet style rim. These antique silver candlesticks do not have weighted bases. The base of each candlestick was made by William Brown in 1825 and the labra were crafted by Walker Tolhurst Ltd (Walter Walker Brownfield Tolhurst) in 1896*. These tall sterling silver candelabra, which can be separated into individual candlesticks, are a versatile and sophisticated gift for weddings, anniversaries or milestone occasions. Use them as dramatic centrepieces for candlelit dinners or display the candlesticks individually on a mantel, sideboard or table. * Candlesticks were widely produced and used in the early 19th century, with designs growing more elaborate as moulded candles gained popularity. To accommodate changing tastes, it was not unusual for matching candelabra to be commissioned at a later date, providing versatility and reflecting the Victorian preference for elaborate centrepieces.
