An Extremely Rare George II Chamber Candlestick Made in Edinburgh in 1745 by Edward Lothian, Assay Master Hugh Gordon.
The Chamberstick stands on three unusual cast bun feet and has a circular base with raised rim, decorated with reeding. The central baluster socket is decorated with reeding and rises to a flared fixed nozzle. This piece has a scroll side handle and is fully marked on the sunken well. The underside is engraved with a set of presentation initials, WR TO ME. This piece is in excellent condition and has a good weight. Candle related silver is very rare from Scotland at this date and this is only the second Scottish Chamberstick we have offered over the years.
