Pair of George III Antique Silver Candlesticks made in 1766
Out of stock
A fine pair of early George III corinthian column candlesticks.
These candlesticks – which bear the mark of the retailer Louis Black – would have been made for him by the famous Norwegian silversmith working in London, Emick Romer.
The bases are finely hand chased and the capitals are finely pierced.
Alongside the English marks, Portuguese control marks are struck by them on the bases and the top corner of each nozzle. This shows that, at one time, these had been exported to Portugal (effectively a customs mark).
The candlesticks are in excellent condition, are well marked on the bottom and correctly part marked on the detachable nozzles.
Dimensions: height 28.4 cm
Emick Romer, son of Michel Michelsen Romer, goldsmith of Oslo (1682 – 1739) born 2 August, 1724.
Seems to have settled in a London in the early 1750s. First mark entered in the missing register around 1758 and was working at 123, High Holborn.
He was a noted supplier to Parker and Wakelin (one of the major suppliers to the King and the nobility) of pierced baskets, epergnes and tea caddies. Candlesticks were also a speciality and most of them have finely pierced decoration to the capitals.
Seems to have returned to Norway by May 1795, where he settled in Halden, in the south of the country.
A maker of fine and unusual pieces.
