Description :

Here is an exquisite pair of M. Fred Hirsch weighted sterling silver candlesticks with etched glass hurricane shades. These candlesticks feature a classic design with a weighted base for stability, a decorative sterling silver stem, and a removable glass hurricane shade to protect the flame from drafts.

The key features of this potentially antique set of candleholders:

Manufacturer: M. Fred Hirsch Co. was in business from 1920 to 1945 and was known for producing weighted sterling silver items. 

Material: The candlesticks are made of sterling silver with a weighted base, often filled with cement or plaster to add stability. The shades are made of glass. Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver. 

Design: The candlesticks have a traditional shape with a round base, a baluster-form stem, and a flared top to hold the glass shade. The glass shades are etched with floral patterns. 

Marks: The mark on the underside is "Sterling Weighted 923" with a crown symbol, letter H in box, and shield with crossed sword symbol.  

Replacement value of $400-$450 (assuming overall condition of the pair)  The silver has patina.
