This lot comprises a trio of three Georgian style tableware items, including a three-light candelabrum and a pair of condiment shakers. The candelabrum is constructed from silver plated copper, featuring a central tapered pedestal rising from a circular gadrooned base. It supports two scrolling arms and three sconces, each with matching gadrooned drip pans. A removable flame-style finial is seated in the central sconce. The piece is decorated with rope-twist and gadrooned borders throughout. The extensive visible copper bleeding across the surface indicates a silver-on-copper construction. The accompanying pair of condiment shakers feature faceted, clear glass bodies in a tapered form. Each shaker is fitted with a screw-on metal cap decorated with chased foliate scrollwork. No manufacturer marks, hallmarks, or labels are legible on any of the items.
Condition report:
The candelabrum exhibits significant wear to the silver plating with extensive copper bleeding visible on the base, central column, and sconces (photo 1). The scrolling arms appear slightly misaligned, and there is general surface tarnish and light scratching consistent with age and use (photo 2). The metal caps of the condiment shakers are heavily tarnished and show signs of oxidisation (photo 3). The glass bodies of the shakers appear to be free of major chips or cracks, although internal residue and surface dirt are present (photo 3).
