A Set of Six George III Antique English Silver Candlesticks
Height: 13 1/2"
description
Four marked by Simon Le Sage, one marked by his brother Augustin Le Sage, one lacking maker's mark.
It is a bit of a mystery why these candlesticks bear Masonic emblems, but the likeliest explanation is that they were a gift to a lodge. We have had one other similar pair.
The arms appear to be those of Eyre or Ayre impaling Kemp or Russell.
