not being an expert I noticed some things that lead me to believe it very old such as all parts are obviously hand fabricated without the use of modern tooling. It has a definite patina of green oxidation which leads me to believe its bronze or brass. Threads that assemble heatshields and candle holders are obviously hand cut and there are corresponding markings that designate placement of heatshields and candle holders onto main piece as to indicate that being handmade each piece was fitted to seat properly in one particular spot on the chandelier (my guess). Thanks you for any help on this
I bought this recently at a garage sale and looked online to get just the manufactures name. But I am unsure as to the type metal and the Crest with the inscription Semper Bene. Could someone help me out?
I have a pair of beautiful pale pink (Crown Tuscan?) Milk Glass Epergnes or Mantle Vases and I am trying to find out who made them. Each epergne has a flared bulb form top with a raised lip around the opening and then it tapers down to a narrow point. It fits into a metal holder that has 6 flat narrow brass strips with small stamped four-leaf clover designs on it. Each strip splays out from the vertical holder creating a 'flat support foot' that rests on top of an octagonal pink milk glass base with feet. The metal holder is attached to the glass base with something similar to a threaded lamp nipple. The glass vase measures 6 3/4" high, the metal holder measures 2 7/8" high from the top of the glass base. The base measures 4" across X 3/4" at each octagonal corner and 1/2" at the space between the feet. Any help in identifying the maker and age of this piece would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
Set of wax seals. They appear to be a red ceramic material with round wooden bases, each with handwritten numbers on them. There is a small piece of paper in the box signed "The Rev J. Edward 1834"
