Large Antique Candle Holders
Nice antique condition! Large candle holders in pewter from the Georgian period circa 1775-1820 when the maker, Birch & Villers, was in business (their hallmark is stamped on the underside - see closeups).Birch & Villers was a British maker of high-craftsmanship pewter items in Birmingham & London, England.The hallmarks, or touch marks, are a crown over an X showing that they are high quality pewter, and then a more ornate crown over a crest with the company name on the lower part of the crest (see closeups).
These each weigh 1.5 pounds (693g) and make a great statement at almost 10 inches tall.These are from a primitive lamp collection in Virginia, USA (see our store for more pewter candlesticks as well as crusie, betty, grease and whale oil lamps of different shapes & sizes from this collection).
We are leaving them in their as-found condition so that you can personally decide how much cleaning, polishing, etc to do, if any.They have a medium gray patina with some marks and tiny pits, as is common to aged pewter.There is candle wax residue as well, as shown.They are handmade, with a slight bend in the edges here or there - such a lovely set!
