A Pair of German 800 Grade Silver Candle Sticks
Description
A pair of German 800 grade silver candle sticks. Each candlestick features a flared, trumpet-shaped nozzle set upon a tapering, hexagonal faceted stem. The stems terminate in circular, stepped bases. The items exhibit a geometric, early 20th-century aesthetic. The base of one candlestick bears stamped marks consisting of the numerals 800, preceded by a small crescent moon shape and a crown symbol. These marks represent the German national Reichsstempel marks introduced in 1888, with the 800 indicating a silver fineness of 800/1000. No specific maker mark is identifiable.
Height: Approximately 17.5 cm.
