Antique Solid Silver Gilt Candlesticks Figural Design - J.C. Klinkosch c.1870
About the Item
We are delighted to offer this spectacular pair of solid silver gilt caryatid candlesticks made in Vienna during the Austro-Hungarian empire by J.C. Klinkosch c.1870.
J.C. Klinkosch were imperial silversmiths to Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria and is regarded as one of the finest Austrian silversmiths of the 19th century with numerous commissions by the Austrian Royal Family.
Such prestige and notability come as no surprise upon viewing this pair; evident by their fully silver gilt and magnificent design, this pair most definitely presents opulent and desirable characteristics of fine figural silverware.
The pair is cast and sculpted in the form of a man and a woman, each meticulously detailed and decorated. The fact that two different figures/casting moulds would have been used for a single pair is a testament to its luxurious and 'no cost cut' stance, doubling the time and laborious craftsmanship to complete this pair.
Practicality and elegance combined, this pair may just be the perfect addition whether it be for elevating the ambience of an interior or for usage on a dining table for a splendid silver(gilt) dining experience. Placed within an antique interior setting or perhaps as a juxtaposing centrepiece attraction in a contemporary setting, such a marvellous pair is an equally inspiring conversation starter as interior decor with much to discuss about its craftmanship, history and artistry.
The detailing of the facial features, hair and proportions are delightful and the heavily embellished floral and vine motif clothing around their waist is outstanding. No section is left unembellished with the collums and base featuring a fluted design and the top capitals presenting a foliate design, flaring outwards as if to caress the candle.
Overall, a magnificent pair of candlesticks with some of the finest 19th c. Austrian silversmithing combining artistic sensibility with utility to form a very well though out design.
Hallmarks are present on the base of each candlestick with Austrian marks and a maker's mark.

View AllAntique Victorian Solid Silver Gilt Naturalistic Leaf Spoon Pair, 1842
By Sebastian Crespel II
Located in London, GB
We are delighted to offer this fine and exquisite pair of early Victorian solid silver tea spoons made in London 1842 with the maker's mark of Sebastian Crespell.
The pair features a highly ornate and desirable 'naturalistic' design with the entirety of the spoon-shaped as a leaf and branch.
Intricate engravings on the leaf bowls and the realistic form of the stem/branch indicate a high level of craftsmanship and artistry by the silversmith. Upon close inspection, the asymmetric and naturally flowing design is further apparent and is a delightful touch.
Not only are these spoons practical for a wide variety of uses from tea to desserts, but are a modest yet discerning addition to any collection or interior decor for a sophisticated and nature-inspired look.
The pair is gilded with a yellowish/lemon hue that has been worn and patinated in a very attractive colour/tone.
A full set of English hallmarks are present on the reverse side of the bowl.
