This is a smart pair of Vintage Sterling Silver Candlesticks. The candlesticks have domed and stepped hexagonal bases, which are weighted for stability. The stems are also hexagonal and taper outwards to the circular sconces.

The candlesticks were made in Birmingham by Sanders & Mackenzie and date to 1972. Ernest W. Sanders and Henry A. Mackenzie established their firm in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter in 1911. They were very successful, producing a broad range of silverware from their premises in Spencer Street, where they remained in business until around 1980.

Condition is very good, with just a couple of tiny dings around the rims of the bases plus the superficial surface wear that has to be expected with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The candlesticks each stand 18cm / 7ins high and are 8.9cm / 3.5ins across the bases. The pair together weighs in at 400.0g / 14.1oz but this does of course include the weighting material in the bases.

The hallmarks, on the rims of the bases, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter X for 1972 and the S & M makers' mark for Sanders & Mackenzie.

Shipping in the UK is £10 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the candlesticks.
