This is a wonderful antique dollhouse miniature made of French 800 silver in the form of a chamberstick candle holder. The piece measures 3/4 in diameter exclusive of the handle and has a height of 5/16. The piece is stamped with the 800 silver guarantee for small items, the boars head or tete de sanglier - a little difficult to make out, but the shape of the cartouche identifies it. The handle is stamped with the makers mark that I think belongs to Georges Fechoz - GF with a rose bush between the two letters. It is in very good condition with no noted defects - the top petal shape is a little askew, but I think that this is original to the making of the piece. Miniatures meant for dollhouses were a specialty item for 19th century silversmiths known as toy men - the attention to detail on this tiny piece demonstrates the skill of the maker.attractive piece, great addition to a dollhouse decor..
