Help with these candlesticks, german, dresden, hanau?

Post by nidecka »

This pair of candle holders is up for auction and I'm winning the bid. It says it's silver plated, but I think it could be silver. Has anyone seen these marks?

Yes.... interesting and impossible to find any information. So, I won the auction, lol. I hope after polishing that this yellow is just stains....
Thanks for the answer.

I found, the last mark is Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot, famous french goldsmith. But is silverplated.

I doubt it`s legitimate (genuine) Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot mark (diamond shaped mark is reserved for pure silver), not for silver plate items where rectangle mark is expected.

This is an interesting question.
Is it really true that the lozenge mark is reserved for solid silver?
I happened to find cutlery, French I think, with a lozenge mark, but certainly plated. In some places the base metal was showing and the hallmark was missing.
So????
