Bobeche 1755–60 Myer Myers American This bobeche matches the one belonging to Myer Myers candlestick (,b and .2). Engraved inscriptions reveal that these candlesticks, originally from a set of four, were a gift to Catherine Livingston from her maternal grandparents, Pieter and Sarah Van Brugh. They were probably made around 1759, when Catherine married the wealthy merchant John Lawrence. Only the most prosperous Americans could afford silver candlesticks such as these, which appear to have been cast from an English Bobeche. American. 1755–60. Silver. Made in New York, New York
