Description

This is a handsome Pair of Edwardian Sterling Silver Candlesticks. The pillar style candlesticks have circular bases, weighted for stability, with line decoration around the top. The pillar stems are plain and open out into flared sconces with matching line decoration.

The candlesticks were made in Birmingham by Charles S. Green & Co and date to 1905. Charles Stevenson Green was a grandson of the original Charles Green who founded his firm in Birmingham in 1824, later becoming Charles Green & Son. Originally a partner in this firm with his brothers Lionel and Roland, Charles S. Green left in 1904 to set up his own company Charles S. Green & Co Ltd. Both companies were very successful with Charles S. Green & Co remaining in business up until around 1990 and Charles Green & Son still going strong today.

Condition is very good, with just the superficial surface wear that you would anticipate after over 120 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

Each candlestick stands 11.5cm / 4.5ins high and is 7.3cm / 2.9ins in diameter across the base. The pair together weigh in at 261.8g / 9.2oz, which does of course include the weighting material in the bases.

The hallmarks, on the tops of the bases, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter f for 1905 and the C S G & Co makers' mark for Charles S. Green & Co.
