A VICTORIAN SILVER SEVEN-LIGHT CANDELABRUM/TABLE CENTREPIECE, JOHN SAMUEL HUNT FOR HUNT & ROSKELL, LONDON, 1856 |

fluted column, alternating foliate pierced basket with cut-glass bowl, and flame interchangeable attachments on a leaf-embellished shaped triangular foot, engraved with a coat-of-arms, a monogram, and a presentation inscription: 'PRESENTED TO SIR ROBERT SHEFFIELD ESQ. BY A LARGE BODY OF SUBSCRIBERS IN ACKNOLEDGEMENT OF HIS VALUABLE AND LONG CONTINUED PUBLIC SERVICES IN PROMOTING THE PEACE, COMFORT AND THE WELLBEING OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY OF LINCOLN. 1857'

Good clear marks. Thread perhaps need replacing as basket nor sconce attachment tighten well. Very heavy gauge. Otherwise good condition.
