Antique Old Sheffield Plate Over Copper Candlestick, Grape Leafs & Grapes Signed

Description

Up for bid i this 12" single Sheffield candlestick that is signed on the side of the bottom base as follows: "Sheffield", "Sterling Mounts", "Plated On Copper".  The decorations are grape leafs and grapes with trailing grape vines on the base and florals and swirls on the other figural pieces.  The inside of the candleholder is incised with the numbers "5220." The piece is in good antique condition with small dents commensurate with age and rubbed sterling with copper showing through in a number of places as shown in the photos. No major dents or missing pieces. Taller than most offered on eBay and a single at that. The base is weighted and covered in white felt which is tattered and smudged in places. A great show stopper on your dining room table or anywhere in your house.  It would also look good, and seems the right size, to be electrified and made into a boudoir lamp with shade.  Charming.  Add to your decor today and thanks for looking.
