Maker: Unknown

Date: 1730

Origin: London, England

Condition

This antique taperstick is a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in excellent condition.

The lion passant, assay mark and date letter of the full hallmarks struck to the underside of the candlestick are all legible; the maker’s mark however has been lost in the casting, which is not uncommon.

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

Andrew Campbell started trading in antiques during the 1970s. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
