Rare Pair of 1879 James Bembridge Sterling Silver Corinthian Candlestick Lamps

A very decorative and collectable pair, each hallmarked to the base with J.K.B for James Kebberling Bembridge, the crown for Sheffield, the sideways facing Lion for Sterling silver, date letter M for 1879 and lastly the queens sideways head for Queen Victoria

The lamps are very decorative and ornately sculpted, they have signs of use as you would expect in the form of tarnishing, knocks and light small indentations, the bases have worn around the edges, they are exactly 140 years old and silver is a soft metal so it’s a marvel the exist at all really, to my eyes and hands they look and feel sublime

They have been fully restored with new light fittings, caballing throughout which is three core fabric flex and lastly a new plug, they are gallery ready
