I have a pair on minute dragon candlesticks, with wings and curly tails, one of which has the very clear markings for Martin Mayer, with the quarter moon and crown and '800'. I am afraid I cannot post photographs, but I note that there is a single one on Ebay at the moment. This, however, is marked 'sterling' so I am guessing that it is probably a British ripoff! These little candlesticks have been gilded -proper gilt and not gold paint, at that. Does anyone recall seeing any other examples of this design, please? They reside on a buffet that once graced Titania's Palace, the famous dolls house.

 

Could you post the link? Copy and paste.

Most major German jewellery etc manufacturers of the period exported part of their collection. So they made and marked items for several countries. A piece that was .800 silver in Germany would be made in sterling (.925) for the British market, and in .835 silver for the Dutch neighbours. and marked accordingly.
