Set of 4 sterling silver candlesticks from the Edwardian era, English hallmarks for Sheffield 1904 and 1905.  From the prolific silversmith company of Hawksworth, Eyre & Co. Ltd., of Rockingham Street, Sheffield, established in 1837 and taken over by Ellis & Co. of Birmingham in 1932.  The Queen Anne style octagonal stepped candlesticks are a classic English style, still popular 300 + years later. 

The candlesticks all have the crest, motto and monogram of the original owner, a member of the Brown family.  The crest is a rampant lion holding a fleur-de-lys in his paw above the motto “Floreat Majestas”.  This translate from Latin to English “Let Majesty Flourish”, the family motto of the Scottish clan Brown, or Broun, first recorded in Scottish history in 1128.  

On the opposite side of the crest is the monogram “CB”, engraved in Script.

Two of the candlesticks are hallmark dated 1904 and two are hallmark dated 1905.  The candlesticks are complete with the original matching bobeches and have minor small dents; wear consistent with age and use.
