The candlestick stands slightly unsteadily as the base is dented. The hallmark on the edge of the base is badly rubbed but the hallamark on the underside of the base is still clearly legible. The base of the candlestick is stamped 'Sorley Silversmiths to H.M. The King Glasgow'. he other candlestick is at fault. Again there are surface scratches, dints, and small dents to the whole.

There are areas of tarnish in the decoration. The hallmarks are both clearly legible, as is the sponsor's mark, which is the same as above. oth candlesticks are made of filled silver.
