This rare candlestick with snuffer was designed by Dr. Christopher Dresser for Hukin and Heath in c. 1880.

Proudly presented in excellent condition, the craftsmanship of Hukin and Heath is still evident today in the first-class electroplating, not to mention the unique design that is as contemporary today as it was 140 years ago.

The bark effect is hand hammered and is representative of the Victorian aesthetic movement.

Christopher Dresser was an extraordinary designer with vision years ahead of his time. Throughout his career he chose his collaborators carefully. The first-class silversmiths; Hukin and Heath were one of these carefully chosen partners. Throughout their relationship they created a few but forever remembered designs and pieces.

This piece is one of those designs.

A special piece that would no doubt be a magnificent addition to a collection.
