About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of antique Asian sterling silver candlesticks; an addition to our Asian silverware collection. These exceptional antique Asian sterling silver candlesticks have a square form. The plain cylindrical capitals of these exceptional examples of antique 1890s silverware are fitted with fixed square sconces ornamented with a simplistic lobed design to the rim. The capitals are supported by impressive Aztec totem pole style columns, embellished with chased decorated offset cuboid segments. The lower portion of the cuboid column is plain and unembellished. The swept square foot of each candlestick is further embellished with chased stylised gadroon decoration. These exceptional silver candlesticks do not have weighted bases. These candlesticks have been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as sterling silver. Condition These antique Asian silver candlesticks are a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The chased decoration is all very sharp. There are no hallmarks as to be expected with such a piece; the date and origin can be determined by the composition and decoration. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these examples of antique Asian silverware.
