Modern recreation of a pair of octagonal sterling silver tapersticks in a style that would have been popular circa 1725 during the reigns of Kings George I or II. They are cast solid silver, meaning they are unfilled.
Designed to hold a wax taper, and used primarily for sealing wax, the silver taperstick was first produced during the latter part of the 17th Century, with the majority of examples produced from the middle of the 18th Century. Other uses for tapers included lighting pipes, and lighting other candles.
