Unavailable

Our pair of gilt sterling silver candlesticks with sodalite (that looks like lapis lazuli), circa 1960s to 1970s, come from the legendary London jewellers, Garrard and Company.  Each 7 1/4 by 3 1/2 inches.  Each with original green felt underneath with labels reading "Garrard, The crown Jewellers, 112 Regent Street, London W1A 2JJ".  Each marked 925, plus the mark of  Garrard & Co. Ltd., letter Q in script which is the London code for 1990, and the assay import mark.

Each in good condition.  There is rubbing wear to the gilt finishes and light scratches.
