RARE PAIR VICTORIAN 1849 NOVELTY PALM TREE SILVER TAPERSTICKS / CANDLESTICKS. On offer is a novelty solid silver cast taperstick / candlestick in the form of a palm tree. Hawkesworth, Eyre & Co (Charles Hawksworth & John Eyre).
Coming with a second identical taperstick purely with the same period makers mark for. So the first is fully hallmarked solid silver. Whilst the second may be solid silver or perhaps silver plate? A Victorian customer therefore probably requested a pair when there was originally one? Very rare indeed to some across a taperstick in the form of a palm tree.
In fact Ive been unable to reference another, so a real collectors piece.
