A pair of small Victorian silver candlesticks in Neo-Classical style, each with a vase shape stem decorated with swag and patera motifs above lobed and formalised leaf border decoration, with removable circular nozzle and the whole raised above a filled square base, beaded border detail throughout. Hallmarked Richard Martin & Ebenezer Hall, London 1886, one with matched nozzle having Sheffield hallmarks. Height measures 4 3/8 inches (11.2 cm).

Both candlesticks display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Some small dints and knocks, especially around the edges and corners of the bases. Split starting to appear along the seam line of one of the vase stems. The matched nozzle is quite a tight fit. The hallmarks are mostly clear and legible. Baize lining is worn and faded.
