Three-Light Candelabra in Portuguese Earthenware

About the Item

Three-light candelabra, in Portuguese faience. Polychrome decoration, raised central body and two symmetrical side arms, forming a balanced set with three candle holders. The decoration is rich in hand-painted floral and plant elements, with bright colors of blue, orange, green and yellow, on a white enameled background. The candle holders are accented with aquamarine borders and small leaf motifs. The base, with three rounded supports, ensures stability to the piece. The curved and protruding shapes, as well as the decorative details, give it a striking character, typical of traditional Portuguese earthenware. Both functional and decorative piece. Minor flaws.

Vintage Sterling Silver Three Light Candelabra
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of vintage Elizabeth II English sterling silver three light candelabra; an addition to our ornamental silverware collection. These fine vintage Elizabeth II sterling silver candelabra have a panelled hexagonal form, in the classic early 18th English style. Each impressive candelabrum retains the original hallmarked detachable push fit scrolling arms, which support circular baluster shaped capitals surmounting plain hallmarked dished drip pans. Each candelabrum is fitted with three labra conjoined to with a central baluster shaped finial. These versatile vintage candelabra can be used with three lights or as candlesticks once the arms (labra) are detached. The panelled waisted column of each candlestick is embellished with a rounded knop to the lower portion. The hexagonal swept foot incorporates a subtle plain circular sunken well. Each candelabrum does not have a weighted base. These exceptional candelabra were crafted by the renowned London silversmith Richard Comyns of William Comyns & Sons Ltd. Condition These vintage sterling silver candlesticks are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The components have been professionally polished and are in presentation condition. Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each base and part hallmarks to the sleeve of each labra are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this pair of vintage 3 candle candelabra...
