About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Victorian English cast sterling silver taperstick; an addition of our ornamental silverware collection.
This exceptional antique Victorian sterling silver taperstick has a circular rounded form with a shaped figural column.
The cylindrical capital of this antique silver taper candlestick is encircled with moulded girdles, in addition to a shaped scalloped chased decorated border to the rim; the capital surmounts a lobed floral petal style drip pan.
The exceptional cast sterling silver column has been modelled in the form of a Harlequin.

An antique Harlequin takes the form of a monkey or masked character dressed in a diamond patterned costume. 'Harlequin' is a well-known Zanni character type from the Italian Commedia dell'arte and his role was to be a light-hearted, nimble and astute servant.
