Rare Antique Hm Solid Silver 'go To Bed' Candleholder/chamberstick - 1903 For Sale
For your consideration - a rare Edwardian solid silver English hallmarked 'Go To Bed' candle holder or chamberstick. There is an open 'box' area to house either a box of matches, or in this case three small candles. The candles are contained within a cardboard box which although sellotaped, it seems to fit the space precisely. Perhaps it is the inner section of a period box of matches, with the candles trimmed to fit in? I'm not sure about that.The piece bears rubbed hallmarks that I have deciphered as the following; makers mark 'T???o', which I believe to be 'THH&Co' for T H Hazlewood. The anchor for Birmingham is visible, as is the lion denoting sterling silver. The date letter again is rubbed, but I make it out to be 'd' for 1903.CONDITION - well used with lots of surface marks/scratches. The handle appears to have a repair a long time ago, and a loop or ring encircles the handle where it joins the top. The rim of the candle holder is uneven. All of the above consistent with use and handling over 110 years.Still, a rare, useable and collectable item.I have lots of interesting silver listed in my shop; please pay a visit
