Candlestick with chain and clips. Silver. F. Roca, Barcelona, circa first half of the 19th century. With contrast and engraving marks. A silver candlestick in its natural color, with an openwork bowl raised on two small legs (inside is a vase-shaped piece for holding the candle), and a flat handle (curved towards the end, where the third leg is located), decorated with two bands of pearls on the sides (a motif that also appears on the rim of the bowl). From the end of the handle emerges a small chain that terminates in tongs (which are attached to a piece soldered to the lower part of the handle). The piece bears two engraving marks and hallmarks beneath the bowl. These latter marks indicate that the piece was made in Barcelona by F. Roca, a silversmith active in the city during the second half of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries. Weight: 185 grams.
