    There a few hallmark stamps but they are difficult to read.
    The one I could read is at the bottom of the candlestick.
    This stamp reads from left to right:  90 [meaning 90% silver], a lotus flower [most likely the trade mark of the maker], and Arabic letter "th"
    ث
    [indicating the year when the item is made, in this case !943-1944.]  Exactly, it was made 77
    years ago.
    Such stamps are typical of Egyptian silver artworks.
    This particular candlestick is beautifully engraved with an arabesque floral design. In excellent condition
