https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/matt-crosby-interiorsA pair of silverplate figural candlesticks. Marked for Joseph Rodgers & Sons. Sheffield. Circa 1920s.
The candlesticks are modelled as perched owls with inset glass eyes, a snake held in each bill leading to the candle holder.
The forms are well cast, with crisp feather and scale definition, typical of Rodgers’ higher grade electroplate work. Both pieces are in very good condition. One plinth shows a very minor area of rubbing, this is hardly noticeable. The other has a few minor pin size dents to the plinth. One of the glass eyes has a hairline, as shown in the photographs. In natural viewing it presents only as a slight dark mark. Please refer to the photographs.
They have a lovely weighted feel to them.
