Hi there,

I came across these candelabras and would like to know more about them.

I have attached a few images.

Unfortunately the marks are very hard to read but i can make out an F and what looks like two swords crossing or an X in a circle.

Im guessing they are American cause thats where they ...

well said qrt.s

hi postnikov

thank you for the helpful information.

I managed to find something you might be interested in.

Take a look at post number 5 where you can expand her discussion.

The other topics are quite interesting also.

that is a great website you have linked me to. It is going to my favourites=)

I cant tell at all. i see the r and h now though,


thank you oel=)

Yes it would be quite strange if the masters did stamp their own works with the "fabergé" stamp as it would not seem proper.

Surely each piece of work would be meticulously scrutinized and scrapped if it was not perfect.

I would imagine the head of the workshop would check and stamp all items ...

ah yes so the "W" is not an import mark.

Well then it makes perfect sense to assume the item was indeed made in 1910 by Aarne.


I still find it funny though that this item was given a fake Faberge mark when the item was actually made by a Faberge work master just a few years after he moved home ...

exactly what i am thinking.

But there is still something strange.

Firstly: The Kokoshnik mark and Fabergé mark seem to be far more worn than the Finnish marks.

Secondly the "W" at the end of the Finnish marks is an import mark no? Meaning that the case came from somewhere else?

Otherwise the ...

Thank you Piette.


I am wondering now then why there is such a Fabergé mark?

Surely this item is worth a nice penny coming from Aarne without the Fabergé mark.

I can imagine the item was bought by someone of wealth at the time also.

I know this item belonged to a wealthy american from long ...

i have some more information from browsing through this great site that might help in further discussion.

The "E5" mark for 1910 and the Kokoshnik mark seem to have a connection.

When i look closely to the 84 and the letters of the head i can make out the second letter to be a capital C.

From ...

Oh the mark is E5 not E3. I know the image does not do it justice. I think E5 means 1910

thank you so much for your information.

I have had my doubts on the item.

the finnish maker however is Johan victor aarne. When i wiki his name it says he worked for Fabergé for many years.

Could you please if this has any significance on the item?

Once again you have all been great=)

yes piette

thank you for reply

hi again,

I forgot to add another set of hallmarks which you can see at the top of the inside.


thanks

Hi all,

I have been reading through a fair few topics discussing fabergé items.

I do not wish to cause any drama with this post as all i want to do is verify whether an item i own is faux or not=)

I wont tell you how much was paid but maybe you can help identify its past.

Thank You All and ...
