This antique chamber candle holder is a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in excellent presentation condition.

The hallmarks struck to the underside of the candlesticks are all very clear.

The Danish hallmarks to the surface of the capital show signs of wear in keeping with age and location.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of antique silverware.
