Both candlesticks are stamped “C.H.B.” with the number “408.” The C.H.B. maker’s mark is associated with C. H. Beatson of Sheffield, England, a Sheffield silversmith and manufacturer active during the early 20th century. Pattern/model number 408 appears beneath the maker’s mark.These are elegant tall table or mantel candlesticks with a classic tapered column, stepped circular base, and removable-style candle cup/bobeche design. Their simple neoclassical form works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors.No British sterling assay marks have been found, so these are being conservatively offered as silver plate rather than sterling silver.Approximate height: 10 inchesQuantity: Matching pairMarked: C.H.B. / 408Origin: Attributed to Sheffield, EnglandMaker: C.
