2 x Edwardian Silver Candlesticks, Birmingham 1909
Here we have a good looking Pair of Edwardian Sterling Silver Candlesticks in the Georgian Revival style. The candlesticks have line decorated circular bases, weighted for stability and with wooden insets. The stems have two disc style knops below the urn shaped sconces. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The candlesticks were made in Birmingham by Saunders & Shepherd and date to 1909. Cornelius Saunders and Frank Shepherd began their partnership in London’s Holborn Circus district in 1878. This was a major centre for silversmiths, goldsmiths and jewellers for many years in the 19th and 20th centuries. The firm were both manufacturers and retailers, specialising in small silver items for personal or domestic use and registered marks in London, Birmingham, Chester and Sheffield. The company remained in business up until the late 1930s.
Condition is very good, with just a few truly tiny dings around the rims of the bases plus the superficial surface wear that has to be expected after 115 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
Each candlestick is 10.9cm / 4.3ins high and 7.8cm / 3.1ins in diameter across the base. The pair together weigh in at 556.9g / 19.6oz but this does of course include the weighting material in the bases.
The hallmarks, on the tops of the bases, are a little rubbed but still clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham the date letter k for 1909 and the distinctive C S and F S either side of a star makers' mark for Cornelius Saunders & Frank Shepherd.
Shipping in the UK is £12.50 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the candlesticks.
Overseas customers, please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
