@Archie I've moved your post to the trade section.   You'll need to add a price though.

I see no proof that these are Thomas Hemming pieces.  There is no hallmark, for one.

I see a little possibility that it may be sold by another silversmith, turn of the 20th century, with the candlesticks being German imports - but again, struggle to find too much evidence for this.

I'm genuinely interested as they're delightful but would like more proof please.

From what I recall, TH hallmarks were cursive:

Myself also im kind of stuck on what to think of these candle sticks,by putting them on here I was hoping that maybe somebody knows these and markings 

as ive been told a few different i.e tomas hemmes I also was told they was something to do with some French maker whom settled here.

these are stunning and very heavy each stands at 1ft high

Somewhat cheeky to advertise them as something when you're not sure yourself.

Are you wanting to sell, or are you after someone to do the hard work for you and provide you with all the information you need to price them up?

You have these entered in an auction,is that correct? Surely you must have been given an auction estimate,list them at middle estimate,and see if anybody bites. Save on auction fees then.

Again, you need to state an asking price as stated in the trading section rules.

Quote

For sale listings

All topics listing items for sale must state an asking price. (Apart from when you are solely looking to exchange, then please state your asking exchange)

Additionally if you are selling them as "tomas hemmes" you need to be certain they are.  If you are not certain and cannot verify, then it should be made clear that they are "possibly Thomas Hemmes".
