Antique Meridian Candelabra / Meridian Silverplated Candelabra / Aesthetic Period Candle Holder / Meridian Silver #3207 / Antique Candelabra

This is for an Antique Meridian Silver Plate . twisted 5 arm Late Victorian Aesthetic Period candelabra. The candle holder measures: 12 inches tall x 11 inches wide x 11 inches deep.

The silver plate on this is in very good condition in spite of this being from the late 1800's to early 1900's with noted slight wear on some of the angles and mostly on three of the screw in candle cups. This is from where wax was left to sit and hurt the silver plate. With being so shiny the small areas are hard to see on the actual candle holder and is noticeable on the candle cups.

Note pictures. This Antique candelabra has the original 5 candle cups that are removable for cleaning and screw in for use.

The candle holder is hallmarked on the bottom along with item number 3207 under the logo. The logo is a lion holding a large Urn inside a circle.

Interesting background information on the makers of these items:

* The Meridian Silver Plate was Organized in 1869 by Charles Casper and others and it was also one of the original companies that later became part of International Silver Company.

* "Quadruple Plate." This means there are four layers of silver plate on the piece. The term "Triple Plate" is sometimes seen as well. These terms were rarely used after 1900, thus helps in dating these items also.
* Among the top names to look for in collectible antique silver plate from this time period are Meriden B Company, James W. Tufts, Wilcox, Derby, Gorham, and Reed & Barton.
* These companies were very popular from the mid-1800s up until 1898. The silver industry was booming and demand was so highly sought after that most of the companies merged together and formed one large company, International Silver Company.
* After 1898, some Silver plated pieces carry Both names - the original Company's mark and the International Silver name, or just the initials IS. After 1900, most of the former names were no longer used - and items were only marked with International Silver Company name.


**All items are vintage and if more then normal age appropriate use / condition issues - then it will shown in the listing / pictures. Please ask questions prior to purchase if there are concerns.

Majority of my items for sale are pre-loved treasures that were most likely purchased at a local Estate Sale or a local resale shop in Arizona. I may or may not know details but do spend time researching information to provide details the best I can and to pass along fair prices.


*I do Not except returns or exchanges unless I erroneously forgot to declare a Major flaw. Remember most items will show wear. Assume items are preloved and or vintage and such can have its own idiosyncrasies due to age alone and normal wear and tear. Remember vintage items have been used and will have small issues like surface scratches and age appropriate wear. I will show any major issues in my pictures as they are part of the description.

*If an item is damaged in shipping you agree to hold onto the item, box and packing materials until the claim is processed and I will need you to take any necessary pictures to file with the carrier.

* I take great care in packaging items correctly and shipping on time.

* I STRONGLY believe in reusing and repurposing of mailing materials, thus your item maybe packed in a previously used box and/or wrapped with previously used materials. Thank you for looking!!
