An authentic example of fused silver plate, predating electroplating. The copper base metal shows through at points of wear, especially the underside, confirming early Sheffield manufacture. With its simple baluster form and rich patina, this candlestick represents an important development in 18th–19th century silver history. 10” high
Condition: Heavy wear, surface dents, and copper bleed-through. Offered as a single candlestick (not a pair), but highly collectible as an early technological survivor.
