Presented is a pair of handsome English sterling silver table candlesticks from Ellis & Co. This pair is in a great classical style and displays beautiful ribbed pattern details. These table candlesticks have a great large base and removable wax drip bobeches.
The pair is marked with English hallmarks, the lion passant for sterling silver, the anchor mark for Birmingham, and the date letter A, representing 1950. Each piece displays these hallmarks on the base of the candlesticks and on the wax drips. The base also displays a maker's mark for Ellis & Co.
These candlesticks are in excellent condition. There are no dents or marked from being dropped or hit on the edges. There are no monograms and no monogram removals. There are no tilts or leans. The bobeches slip in and out with ease. There are no breaks, no repairs, and no problems of any kind.
This pair is weighted, but the sterling silver is very thick and heavy gauge. The wax drips alone weight 123.3 grams or 4.35 ounces. Total Weight: 2961 grams or 104.4 ounces, likely about 35 ounces worth of silver.
The table candlesticks measure about 12 1/4 inches tall. The base is 6 inches by 4 1/2 inches. -kc
