AN “impressive” collection of silver has shone at auction in Lichfield.
Richard Winterton Auctioneers brought the hammer down on the lot – which belonged to a single owner – at £6,050
Highlights included an Elizabeth II twin-handled wine cooler of urn form which sold for £1,050 and an Elizabeth II five light candelabrum in late-George III neo-classical style which fetched £1,150.
The collection also had pieces from the reign of George III such as a William Pitts silver snuffer tray and a pair of candle snuffers by Rebecca Emes and Edward Barnard I which went for £400.
