These antique Georgian silver tapersticks are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The cast decoration is very sharp.
Full hallmarks struck to the underside of each base are all very clear; the hallmarks are deeply struck due to the exceptional gauge of silver.
