Condition

These Victorian silver chambersticks are an exceptional gauge of silver for their type, exceptional quality and in exceptional presentation condition.

The applied bead decoration is all very sharp and the bright cut engraved decoration is very crisp.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of these silver chambersticks, in addition to part hallmarks to the sleeve of the sconces and the surface of the snuffers are all very clear; the maker’s marks have wear in keeping with age and location, but remain legible.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these pieces of Victorian silverware.
