Silver plated candlesticks - unknown marks

Postby Lsloane » Thu Jan 28, 2010 3:10 pm

Please can anyone identify the marks on the attached photos of 2 candlesticks. There are three photos, one of the pair of candlesticks, one of a mark showing a W, and the final photo showing 2 suns. I cannot find these on the internet and local auctioneers and valuers have no idea what they are. It is therefore not possible to date these items although some people have likened them to either Georgian or Edwardian styles. They are not solid silver.
Thanks.

Hello, I think it is from the famous Matthew Boulton, Birmingham, who registered this mark first in 1784 with his two suns. Regards from a snowy Munich, Christian
