Antique Georgian English Sterling Silver Taperstick

About the Item

A fine and impressive antique early Georgian English cast sterling silver taperstick; an addition of our ornamental silverware collection. This fine antique early George II cast sterling silver taperstick has a plain classical English form. The cylindrical capital is encircled with bands of applied decoration in addition to a central applied girdle. The waisted paneled section of the column features rounded square knop with incurved corners to the upper portion and a circular knop to the lower portion. The circular sunken well is ornamented with a contemporary engraved crest depicting an animal erased and pierced through the neck with an arrow. This Georgian taper candlestick is supported by a square stepped base with incurved corners. This taperstick does not have a weighted base.
