About the Item

2 Italian contemporaries solid silver candlesticks altar Church candlesticks Style: Rococo, Italian, Antique, Louis XV, One of it can be converted to a candelabra Each on a shaped circular base, with kopped flaring fluted stem with spool-form socket.

Origin Italy Venice mid to third quarter 18th century Condition: good Hallmarks: Both candlestick are bearing the hallmark of Venice and a makers mark Height 12.2 inches Width 10.6 inches Depth 10.6 inches Silver has a long history. In addition to utensils, they are also ornamental & showpieces, masterfully made. Silverware used to be mainly considered an investment. In times of war or crisis, the silverware was melted down and cashed in again. It was therefore of great importance that the indicated silver content was correct. At the silver guild, the silversmith promised under oath that he would not process gold and silver that did not meet the specified quality. The master's mark on silver was originally intended to expose silversmiths who did not adhere to the set silver levels. Today it is mainly seen as a personal stamp. In this way it tells us more about the maker and the time from which the silverware originates. The ornamental pieces are openwork cut by hand or molded representations, cast, works of art hammered into exceptional shapes that are guaranteed to steal the show at the table. Dining with silver makes every moment special
