RENNES 1779-80 Rare breton silver hand candlestick of the XVIIIth century. Tray resting on a frame with shell clasps, the latter framed by volutes. Localized hallmarks on tray with charge and discharge hallmarks for RENNES 1775-81. Swearing hallmark for RENNES 1779-80. Hallmark of the master goldsmith: François-Nicolas GIRARD, received for Rennes in 1769. Weight : 191,2 grams. Good condition, trace of soldering on grip. Rare model of candlestick to bring closer to the model referenced page 326 / reference 94 (Rennes 1776 Mo Quemeneur) of the reference book of Jacques Berroyer "Goldsmithing in Upper Britain", and presenting exactly the same catch. Our copy being more worked since it presents in more on the plate of very beautiful staples.
