A very attractive pair of Victorian silver candlesticks.
These are actually reproductions of the Adam style
of the 1780s and 1790s - featuring Graeco-Roman swags and
rams' heads on the corners. The columns are decorated with
leaves and fruit, and the square bases are lined with tulip
petals.
Made in 1885 by Elkington & Co of
Birmingham (one of England's most famous silversmiths).
Height: 11 1/2 inches (29 cm)
Bases: 4 1/4
inches (11 cm).
