Two George III Silver Candlesticks by Robert Jones and John Scofield, London, 1776
each on steped hexafoil base with shell corners, one base with gadrooned central border and the other with reeded central border, the baluster stems each terminating in spool-shaped socket with detachable hexafoil nozzle, one marked for Dublin, circa 1780, the bases engraved with a crest above a duke's coronet 22.5cm high, 36oz 8dwt, 1,133gr (2) The crest is that of Campbell, probably for the Dukes of Argyll.
Each is fully marked under base. One is further marked on socket and on nozzle. The other nozzle further marked with marks for Dublin. Some of the marks underneath one stick are somewhat obscured. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. There has been a repair to the base of one stick where the stem attaches. This has caused some loss to the marks.
