\'THE VACANT CARTOUCHE\' IS PLEASED TO BRING TO YOU :
\'\'GEORGIAN QUARTER\'\'
A MASSIVE 3 MONTH COLLECTIVE SALE OF ONLY GENUINE \'FUSED PLATE\', \'CLOSE PLATE\' & PROPER \'OLD SHEFFIELD PLATE\' FROM THE GEORGIAN PERIOD.
TODAYS sale :
A FINE & SIMPLY LOVELY LITTLE OLD SHEFFIELD PLATE \'TAPER\' CANDLESTICK, COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL SCONCE.
DESCRIPTION :
A FABULOUS LITTLE GEORGIAN PIECE. OF SMALL, BUT BEAUTIFUL PROPORTIONS.
MADE CIRCA 1810 - 1820.
A \'TAPER STICK\' IS A VERY SMALL CANDLESTICK, USED TO HOLD A \'TAPER\' {THIN CANDLE} & PERHAPS KEPT ON A DESK FOR USE WITH SEALING WAX ETC.
JUST LIKE A LARGER \'CHAMBERSTICK\' OF THE PERIOD, BUT IN A MUCH MORE MINUTE & DAINTY SIZE.
I HAVE USED A £1 COIN IN THE PHOTOS, JUST TO SHOW AN IDEA OF ITS MUCH SMALLER SIZE.
THE TAPERSTICK HAS A GOOD RECTANGULAR BASE, FITTED WITH A FILLED SILVER \'FLORAL\' BORDER TO THE OUTER EDGE.
THE CENTRE IS MOUNTED WITH A SHORT, STRAIGHT STEM & RECTANGULAR SOCKET.
THE REMOVEABLE SCONCE THAT SITS ON TOP IS AGAIN OF A RECTANGULAR SHAPE, WITH A MATCHING SILVER FILLED \'FLORAL\' BORDER TO THE RIM.
TO THE BACK IS A LOVELY \'CURLED LOOP\' FINGER HANDLE.
THIS HAS A SQUARE MOUNT AT THE FRONT FOR ORIGINALLY TAKING A SMALL SNUFFER CONE, BUT COULD BE USED TO HOLD A SINGLE MATCH PERHAPS.
THE UNDERSIDE IS NICE & CLEAN. RETAINING ITS \'TINNED\' FINISH.
MOST INTERESTINGLY , WE ALSO FIND A SET OF ENGRAVED INITIALS HERE. THESE READ AS THE LETTERS \'T J B\'.
THERE ARE SOME SURFACE MARKS IN PLACES, WITH COPPER & LEAD SHOWING THROUGH TOO.
THERE IS A HISTORIC SOLDER TO THE HANDLE & STEM, BUT DONE WELL. ITS STILL A LOVELY ITEM.
A WONDERFUL GEORGIAN PIECE FOR THE COLLECTOR.
SIZE & WEIGHT :
TAPER STICK MEASURES 9 CM WIDE & 9 CM DEEP FROM HANDLE TO FRONT LIP.
STANDING AT 5.5 CM IN HEIGHT.
WEIGHT = A VERY FINE 163 GRAMS.
