Stock No. 2441	George IV silver chamberstick with snuffer
Extremely attractive George IV sterling silver chamberstick, of heavy gauge and complete with snuffer. The circular base has a slightly upturned octafoil edge and each of the eight curved segments is separated by a diamond-shaped decoration.
	The detachable nozzle is decorated in exactly the same way. The fixed, curved, handle into which the snuffer fits, is decorated with an acanthus leaf thumbpiece. The body of the conical snuffer is plain apart from a triple band of reeding round the base. This reeding is also found at the base and top of the chamberstick column. The family crest of Jenkin or Jenkins of a lion passant regardant standing on a mural coronet, is engraved on the base of the chamberstick, as well as on the nozzle and on the snuffer. The full five hallmarks are stamped on the reverse side of the base and are very crisp indeed. The maker's mark, date mark and assay and duty marks are very clearly stamped on the sleeve of the nozzle and also on the side of the snuffer.
