Hello dear friends,
again i am here with some questions. I thing, this candlestick is made from 12 loth (750/1000) silver. It seems to be made in Warszawa (Poland), but in "Divis" i find only some few other marks for Warszawa, displaing not anchor.
So, is this "Anchor mark" Warszawian, or not? And, somebody know period of use this mark? I thing, due to global design of candlestick, it is from first half of 19. century, can be?
And finally i very welcome every info about maker, also unknown to me (Malcz?)
Thank you very much,
yours sincerely
M.
