An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of antique Victorian English sterling silver lyre candlesticks. These exceptional antique Victorian English sterling silver candlesticks have been modeled in the form of lyres.
They were part of a collection of Lyre candlesticks all in sterling silver of British origin. This collector only collected English silver not American silver. The other lyre candlesticks were from the English silver smith, Ellis & Co. However, this pair does not have the English silver markings that the others in the set had. They may still be Georgian silver but the price reflects the fact that they may also be beautiful Victorian English sterling silver but not as old as the Georgian period.
The upper portion of the stringed instrument is surmounted with a swept oval capital, encompassed with concave fluted decoration accented with a reed decorated girdle.The capitals retain the original detachable hallmarked push fit sconces, each embellished with thread decorated borders to the rim.The column of each antique silver candlestick features details replicating the opposing scrolling frame and five-strings of the musical instrument.
Each oval swept base is embellished with fluted decoration, accented with further thread decoration to the rim.
These antique candlesticks have weighted bases and are fitted with green baize to the underside.
