Rare and Large Mid-Century Silver Candelabrum Centrepiece by Gerald Benney
About the Item
An impressive and unique silver nine-light candelabrum or centrepiece made by the prominent and highly regarded 20th century silversmith, Gerald Benney, in 1976.
The silver candelabrum is formed as seven thistle stems converging to form a sphere of thorns, then spreading out to the nine nozzles in the shape of stylised thistle flowers, all set on a filled ring base. The drip-pans are removable to aid cleaning.
This item is the largest and heaviest piece of Benney silver known to exist and would have been made as a special commission. It is exceptionally heavy at 198 troy oz (6159g) and is in perfect condition.

- Set six mid-century silver & gilt Champagne flutesBy Stuart DevlinLocated in London, GBSet stylish mid-century Champagne flutes with tapering cone-shaped stems and circular bases decorated in a mottled pattern and gilded. The hand-hammered bowls also have gilded interiors to create a most attractive and elegant appearance. This is a typical design from Stuart Devlin. At Langfords, we stock a large selection of antique and contemporary silverware from some of the most collectable silversmiths, including Stuart Devlin, Paul Storr, George Adams, Omar Ramsden and De Vecchi. Who is Stuart Devlin? In the 1960s, with old silversmithing techniques dying out, Devlin cut the chains of tradition and developed new techniques and experimented with old ones, to create radically different designs. His unique approach incorporated intricate silver-gilt decoration to produce a wide variety of tactile surfaces and filigree forms instead of just plain silver. Gilded filigree is an important design motif of his large centrepieces and candelabra, while silver-gilt features in Champagne flutes, goblets and beakers. His distinctive Easter egg and Christmas box curios, now collectors' items, are instantly recognisable as his. Among his most popular commissions, Devlin designed coins for 36 countries throughout the world, including the UK, and precious medals and coins for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games...Category
