EXQUISITE PAIR OF MID-1800’s MAPPIN BROS. LTD (MAPPIN WEBB) SILVER CANDELABRAS

Description: PAIR OF MAPPIN BROTHERS LTD 1850’S CONVERTIBLE CANDELABRAS This absolutely magnificent pair of antique convertible candelabras were made by the most widely recognized makers of luxury goods world wide. Manufactured by Mappin Brothers (known as Mappin & Webb today) of London England during the 1850’s in a Classical Greek Revival style. There are twelve original pieces to this set. They have been my favorite for they can be used as single column candle holders or candelabra's. They have been gently enjoyed and very well cared for over the years and add a subtle sophistication to any fireplace, table, server or piano. Their versatility make them highly practical. Each of the candelabras are composed of silver plate and are beautifully cast with an Ancient Greek Corinthian Column style along with a three cup candelabra insert. The cups of the candelabra have square shape holders which fit into a similar inset form on the base of the cup for a secure fit. They are clearly signed on their bases with a Sun stamp and the Mappin Brothers stacked hallmark. They would make a gorgeous commemorative gift for a wedding, anniversary, special birthday or anything to honor a special occasion.

Mappin & WebbAppointed the Crown Jeweler in 2012, Mappin & Webb is one of the most widely recognized makers of silver and luxury goods in the world. With a roster of prestigious clients that has included six British monarchs as well as Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill and Harry Houdini, the historic firm has supplied fine jewelry and silver objects for royalty all over the globe including the Russian Imperial Household, the Siamese royal family and the Indian Maharaja.Mappin & Webb’s origins are rooted in Jonathan Mappin’s workshop in Sheffield. He opened in 1775 with the intent to serve British society with the highest quality silverware ever made. His son and grandson, both named Joseph, carried on his vision until the mid-19th century when his four great-grandsons incorporated the business into * Mappin Brothers Ltd. and embarked on a substantial expansion of the firm.Nearing 1860, two of the great-grandsons, eldest Sir William Mappin and youngest John Mappin, left to pursue other opportunities. John opened his own business, Mappin & Company, and was joined two years later by his brother-in-law George Webb. Webb passed away in 1868 — the same year that saw the family form the Mappin & Webb Co.Webb’s name lived on in the company even after 1889 when the company became Mappin & Webb Ltd. In 1897, Mappin & Webb were granted their first Royal Warrant as silversmiths to Queen Victoria. The firm has been a holder of Royal Warrants since then. Mappin & Webb supplied soldiers in the battle of Omdurman with their acclaimed Campaign watch. The company also supported wartime efforts during both World Wars in their enormous factory in Sheffield. Today Mappin & Webb is among the most prominent makers of Sheffield silver in the world. Watches of Switzerland Operations Ltd. acquired Mappin & Webb in 1998 after a series of mergers and acquisitions.
