This is a smart Vintage Sterling Silver Dwarf Candlestick from the 1970s. The candlestick is circular with a stepped base, weighted for stability, and an urn shaped sconce with a stepped underside. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.

The candlestick was made in Birmingham by Sanders & Mackenzie and dates to 1974. Ernest W. Sanders and Henry A. Mackenzie established their firm in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter in 1911. They were very successful, producing a broad range of silverware from their premises in Spencer Street, where they remained in business until around 1980.

Condition is good, with just a few very small dings around the bottom rim and one little one in the sconce plus the superficial surface wear that you would expect with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The candlestick stands 7.4cm / 2.9ins high and is 7cm / 2.7ins in diameter across the base. It weighs in at 147.2g / 5.2oz but this does of course include the weighting material in the base. It will take a normal size household candle.

The hallmarks, on the bottom rim of the base, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter Z for 1974 and the S & M makers' mark for Sanders & Mackenzie.
