Russian Silver/Silverplate candlesticks/candle holders, hallmark 84
Item number: SIL03061934

Price: $250

This is a lovely pair of silver or silverplated candles sticks. I think they are plated even though they have a Russian silver hallmark with a man facing to the right and 84 stamped on them (see photo). It looks like they had some gold plating in places as well when made, especially on the flowers near the top. They are about 6 inches tall and are quite ornate. I know Russian silver is of a lower quality than sterling silver but it looks like brass showing up on some places (as you can see in the photos below). Just in case you need to know they weigh 394 gms.

This is a lovely American silverplate figural/ornate pickle castor, with an amber glass jar. It is about 9-10 inches tall and has no damage to the metal/silverplate, and is overall in very good condition.
The base seems to be a little bigger than the jar but the lid fits perfectly. It is marked Wilcox Silver Plate Co. and has the patent/production/pattern number 94. Note there is a place on the side at the top where the pickle castor fork/tongs would have hung. I do not have the them.
