Antique Polish Jewish Silver Plated Sabbath Candlesticks Fraget Warsaw Poland Judaica 19 Century Poland

Antique Late 19th-century beautiful pair of silver plated, Polish Jewish Sabbath candlesticks made by famous maker "FRAGET in WARSAW." The candlesticks are made in the classic Polish "petticoat" style set above and below with skirted foliate knops. Each has a bulbous stem chased at intervals with foliate clusters and bands set on a square base.

Each candlestick is fully marked and signed with the inscription "FRAGET N PLAQUE" (meaning "FRAGET SILVER PLATE ON ALPACCA"), placed in an oval.

Above, the coat of arms of the Russian Empire (a double-headed eagle), which means a gold medal at the All-Russian Exhibition of Industrial Products or a sign of the official supplier to the court of His Majesty the Russian Tsar.

Below, in a small oval, is the coat of arms of the boiler corporation (two crossed hammers with a pair of compasses).

Each candlestick is stamped with the number 4213, which means that the candlesticks are a matching pair and not later completed as a pair of the same design, as is often the case with these types of candlesticks.

CONDITION: In remarkable condition for antique candlesticks over 100 years old, the silver plating is still intact and not worn at all, free of repairs.
