A pair of William IV silver candlesticks, Kitchen Walker & Curr, Sheffield 1833, with foliate moulded detachable sconces, urn shaped nozzles on knopped and waisted stems and raised on stepped square weighted bases. Height 23.5 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: Both sconces of these candlesticks have engraved crest of the profile of a bull bust armorial. The first candlestick, one high point on the shell feet has a very tiny 1 mm x 2 mm hole. The shell foot next to it has a small indentation in the highest point but has not broken through. The remaining two opposing corners, each have tiny knocks to the shell high point otherwise appears to be in good order with no obvious visible faults. The next candlestick, one shell foot high point has a 1 mm x 1 mm hole. The high point on the remaining three feet appear to be in good order. The candlestick on the whole appears to have no obvious faults or visible flaws. In fact both sconces are movable but are in a fixed position and do not appear to have been moved for some time. Both bases are not covered in baize and show the weighted metal. The majority of the marks and the high points are only notable by using a jewellers loop. Please note, although these are silver the candlesticks are weighted so we are unable to give true weight of silver content.
