Queen Anne silver taperstick London 1704 Richard Syngin (Syng).
About the Item
Queen Anne silver taperstick London 1704 Richard Syngin (Syng). The taperstick of plain early design with knopped stem and moulded circular base. Britannia standard silver. Weight 106 grams, 3.40 troy ounces. Height 10.7cm. Base diameter 7.0cm. Marks. Stamped underneath with a full set of clear English Britannia silver hallmarks. Literature. Silver tapersticks, averaging about 4- 5 inches high, are miniature table candlesticks used to hold a wax taper. Tapersticks would typically be found on a desk as they were not used for lighting; the melted sticks of wax were used for sealing letters, to give a flame for tobacco pipes or to light large candles. They are rarer than candlesticks and very few existed prior to the Queen Anne period. They usually appear in singles and pairs and are highly sought after.
Condition: Very slightly out of round base (could easily be aligned but have left as not of any real concern, stands flat and straight). Good clear hallmarks to underside of base. Good colour and patina. Reflections purely from photography only. Note: Tapersticks were not made until the early 18th century. This is a very early example and unusual circular form for a taperstick.

- Queen Anne Silver Feeding Cup by John EastBy John EastLocated in New Orleans, LAThis extremely rare, Queen Anne-period silver feeding cup gives a glimpse into the daily life of 18th-century, England. Crafted by silversmith John East, this subtly designed covered cup would have held broth or thin porridge to nourish a young child or an invalid. Its two handles and a spout make feeding easy and a CAP attached by chain closes securely over the spout’s opening. The removable cover could have been used to spoon feed a patient as well. Although it is common to find feeders made of ceramic or porcelain, to find a silver cup, especially from the 18th century, is an incredible find. The base of the feeder displays the contemporary initials “M W” around a star shaped motif. Hallmarked London, 1712 Measures: 5” wide over handles x 4 5/8” deep over spout x 3 ¾” high In use from the Roman era right up to WWII, the invalid...Category
