Re: antique French oil&vinegar set - 1795?

Thank you for for the good discussion!

Observations here:
1. Evidently, numerous old French silver marks appear on the item.
2. The marks' locations suggest that the marks were not struck at the same time.
3. The “head of a Greek woman” mark (1795-97?) appears at several (6-8), "well-protected ...

Re: antique French oil&vinegar set - 1795?

Thank you very much for the identification!!

It is surprising that the maker is "Ange Denis Collier" who registered his mark only in 1808...

Hi,
I forgot to mention that these are quite heavy items (heigth: 28cm, weight: 1212g total).
And the candelsticks made by casting (not filled or plate ones).
Many thanks for your input!
Hope the maker's mark appears in the future...
Regards

Re: unidentified candelabra - German?

The base of the candelabra has the old German marks ("ZSO" and 13).
The very thin "crowns" of candelabra (that holds the candle) has the Egyptian mark (800), that maybe a replacement/addition because of functional reasons. I guess...

Re: unidentified candelabra - German?

Thanks a lot for your expert evaluation!
Sadly, I cannot locate town mark on the items.
The maker's mark appears as "ZSO" or "OSZ".

I was able to locate a relatively new-looking mark on the items.
It may be an Egyptian fineness mark (800)?
However, I guess ...
