DESCRIPTION | Hi There! I used to be a really lovely Edwardien 2 armed candlestick in classical style with an artichoke imaged finial in the centre, but then one evening some drunken bastard knocked me off the shelf and my one arm (I don't know if it is the left or right arm, because I look the same from both sides) broke clean off! What's more my owner (another drunken bastard) lost the arm and now it cannot even be soldered back on. I am still very nice though with no dents or wear on me and my sterling silver markings are very nice and unrubbed on my base. I stand 16 cm high and I am quite heavy, weighing in at 275 gm sterling silver. I am sure that a silversmith or even anybody who is handy with soldering in silver can take the candle cup from the one arm I still have and solder it onto the centre (where the finial now is) to turn me into a real classy single candlestick. After that there should then even be a good 100 gm of scrap silver left. So - if you can use me, bid on me and buy me ..... pleeeez! pleeeeeezzz!! pleeeeeeeezzzzzzzz!!!' |
CONDITION | I think the candlestick described himself and his condition adequately above. |
A nice and classy silver candlestick. Could be turned into a single candlestick quite easily. NOTE THAT THE WEIGHT GIVEN (275 gm) IS FOR THE STERLING SILVER ALONE. THE CANDLESTICK HAS A CAST IRON WEIGHT IN THE THE BASE INTERIOR(WHICH CAN BE SEEN ON THE THIRD IMAGE BELOW) BUT THAT WAS REMOVED BEFORE IT WAS WEIGHED. |
