Object Description
An attractive and rare pair of antique silver George III telescopic candlesticks. The sconces and square bases have a reeded edge and the height can be adjusted.
18th century telescopic silver candlesticks are rare and these are particularly early examples, with the first patents for telescopic candlesticks being taken out in 1796.
They are both in superb condition.
