Grand candlestick, silver-plated metal candle holder from the mid-19th century. It bears a hallmark (difficult to decipher). The top cup is equipped with a small threaded rod to consider attaching a socket to make it into a lamp.
This same cup has an old repair, a small soldering to refill the metal which still shows some wear. Truly superb, of great quality and very decorative. See my other items for sale.
