The Chamberstick stands on three unusual cast bun feet and has a circular base with raised rim, decorated with reeding.  The central baluster socket is decorated with reeding and rises to a flared fixed nozzle.  This piece has a scroll side handle and is fully marked on the sunken well.  The underside is engraved with a set of presentation initials, WR TO ME.  This piece is in excellent condition and has a good weight.  Candle related silver is very rare from Scotland at this date and this is only the second Scottish Chamberstick we have offered over the years.
