Hi welcome to the forum.

Your candlestick carries a British registry lozenge for more info see:
http://www.925-1000.com/registry.html.
(Material metal, made June 10th in the year 1862)
I believe it to be silver plated and a better image of the maker's mark may reveal more.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

That's one of the marks used by Thomas Bradbury & Sons of Sheffield.

See: http://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_B3.html

The date on the Registry mark gives the earliest possible date of manufacture, but the item may have been made some years later.

The use of the crown mark on plated wares was outlawed in 1896.
