A Pair of Queen Anne Silver Candlesticks by Jacob Margas, London, 1709

each on stepped square cast base with canted corners, the stem tapering and part-fluted, with spool-shaped socket, the bases engraved with a crest 15.5cm high, 26oz 2dwt, 811gr (2)

Each fully marked underneath with silver marks. The sockets further part marked. The marks under the base are clear. The mark on each socket is work, this is more obvious on one than on the other. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The seam on one socket is opening up very slightly.
