Victorian Style Pair of Silver Plated 3-Flame Convertible Candlesticks

About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Elegant and refined pair of three-flame Victorian candlesticks; the round base supports a truncated conical stem at the end of which the structure with fluted volute arms can be inserted, thus completing an aesthetically striking ensemble; the candlesticks are adorned with rich and sumptuous decorations typical of the Victorian period; by disassembling the top of the stem they can be converted into two single-flame candlesticks. Unfortunately, the two ornamental pinnacles that were placed in the central part of the three lights and that had only a decorative function have been lost (we have attached an example photo of another Icandlestick as a demonstration), this lack slightly affects the beauty and elegance of the pair, but interestingly affects the price, which we have kept below the quotation precisely because of the absence of the pinnacles. The pair was made between 1880 and 1885 in a small craft workshop in Birmingham, England; we cannot trace the name of the maker because the candlesticks are not marked; we stated that they are from Birmingham since the experienced antique dealer from whom we purchased them on Rowheath Rd, Cotteridge in Birmingham assured us that they were locally made. Regarding the marks or punches of plated objects and in this case of Silver Plated, the English law that was so precise for the punching of silver objects did not at first oblige Old Sheffield and Silver Plated manufacturers to mark their products, especially those produced by small artisans or even made on commission by the customer himself. In any case, the importance and value of a beautiful antique object are not compromised by the lack of a maker's mark; in fact, it is not uncommon to come across objects of excellent workmanship but lacking any form of hallmarking. It should be mentioned, however, that to avoid confusion and fraud, starting in 1896, all electroplated silver-plated items had to bear the following inscriptions: EM Electroplated metal; EP (Electro Plated); EPNS (Electro Plated Nickel Silver); EPBM (Electro Plated Britannia Metal). Ours is a pair of particular, finely crafted objects that express their harmonious classicism with strength and personality, an ideal complement for a table or any other furnishing needs, in its time-defying elegance, it goes perfectly with both classic and modern. The pair is in very good condition, in a few places the silver plating is worn and you can see the copper underneath, but this that makes the two objects much more fascinating and historically interesting. Measurements base diameter cm.13 , width cm.31, height cm.31. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.

Victorian Style Pair of English Toilet Flasks Crystal Ground and Sterling Silver

Located in Prato, Tuscany

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Particular pair of toilet bottles in cut and ground by hand crystal; for their execution it was used crystal with a percentage of lead of 30%; the high lead content, instead of calcium present in the common glass, gives the crystal a remarkable hardness, exceptional transparency, and a high refractive index; with the techniques of cutting, grinding and polishing, scrupulously performed by hand, extraordinary light effects and reflections were created; the bottles with the ball body are surmounted by a silver neck and a hinged lid finely chiseled with Victorian motifs. They bear the Classic English silver punches from which we can tell that they were produced in the Victorian style in the city of Birmingham in 1907 (Edward VII) by the firm Phineas Harris Levi & Joseph Wolfe Salaman. The company was founded in 1870 in Birmingham on Northampton Street, in 1872 moved to larger premises on Hockley Street and in 1885 the business was finally moved to a prestigious building on Newhall Street. Levi & Salaman produced much Fine silverware...
