Silver goods by the English maker are also referred to as Ellis-Barker. A wonderful pair of antique silver over copper electroplated candlesticks with removable wax trays in a neoclassical inverted shield form. Both are marked with the signature Barker Ellis menorah mark on one side, and England on the other, and have old felt protectors on the undersides. Each measures a substantial 6.75"W x 11.75"H x 4.5"D.
