Candlestick from Barcelona 18 c. - Marks ?

Post by anikopol »

Hello,

Here is a silver candlestick that I believe was made in Barcelona during the 18 century.
Based on the long handle, I suspect it was used for Catholic mass, not for civil purpose - but I may be wrong.

I see 3 marks, that I read :
- BAR under a Maltese cross ? (on the 2nd picture) : probably city mark of Barcelona, 18c., but I could not be more precise
- OX in a rectangle (on the 2nd picture) : hallmark of the first consul marker of Barcelona ? silversmith mark ?
- unidentified mark (on the last picture) : silversmith mark ?

Thanks for your help !
