Pair of Sword Hilt Candlesticks Year and polished brass lockA wonderfully original pair of candlesticks made from Victorian British Army sword hilts with Royal monogram incorporated into the guard and utilising riding boot spurs for the feet. Made by Benham & Froud to their registered design for the candlestick and stamped with their 'orb and cross trademark, circa 1905. The sticks have their original gilt finish (now worn in places) and the sword handles have the original shagreen and wirework grips.
