Title: Bought a pair of silverplate candle sticks, possible Roberts Cadman & Co????
Post by: ANTIQUERAIDERS on January 20, 2013, 05:20:48 PM

Hi

I just purchased a set of two beautiful candle sticks with "R.C. & Co. Patent" stamped on them.... very confused who is the producer, can it possibly be Roberts Cadman & Co?

any suggestions will help

In my opinion the style isn't there for Roberts Cadman. However, Christies did sell a pair of RC&Co Patent for $288. No pic to compare

A pair also sold in the UK in 2011 for £10. I'd suggest that value is more likely for these

everywhere i go..there coming up as Cadmans...maybe an early pair...or a bad day pair...or a very hard life...but..i think they are worth more that a paltry 10 spot...

They are not Roberts Cadman. Just like that bronze, they are repro.

Here's the genuine article :

That sums it up nicely.
