[QUOTE="Nick Athanasatos, post: 438891, member: 9332"]Fixation screws ? The ones underneath holding Figures? They are reproduction of originals by Garrards made by C.J Vander. (Chippendale Rococo). In 1993 I walked into Garrards on Regents Street in London I really almost could not believe my eyes what I was seeing and the treatment I was being given.. An amazing place it was. Anyway I talked to a guy who's family has been in the Silver Vaults for 100 years and he said no reason to buy the Candlesticks I was in love with from Garrards he knew the Silversmith who made them for Garrards. So he had them made..when he was done I asked, now that they are done, how much more would it cost to add more hand detail to make them even better..the price was reasonable and it was done.They are my favorites but are totally black with tarnish so I wont send picture of those.These above pictured Candelabra Ive loved since back then and I finally was able to buy this pair second hand. Ill send pictures of screw.[/QUOTE]
