A handsome pair...
Two heavy silver plate five candle centerpieces.
Likely English market - mid 20th C.
8: diameter ring with five 2" tall candles and saucers.
Beautifully executed all around - present as Sterling but easier to use, clean and enjoy.
In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...
A love story in three parts:
Step One...
I'm standing in front of many boxes of silver items at a legendary Mid-Atlantic auction house.
Pitchers, candlesticks, every shape of bowl, compote and tray...and then I saw these these.
Hmmm...nice form, large catch trays, tall necks, layered base... nice finish, not over or under polished...not too much frivolous detail. Smooth, elegant, lovely.
Step Two...
Picked them up...oooooh....heavy, good edges and seams, no loose or soft pieces...these are nice.
Thoughts run to horserace and event tailgates, holiday centerpieces, candles of all sizes, never having to worry about wax on your fine furniture...
Step Three...
Boom. Got 'em.
Snuck away with the best sale of the day, we think.
Look and feel like sterling but are heavy silver plate - so you can use and enjoy them everywhere whiteout worry.
Now they can be yours.
