This Georgian silver candlestick is one of a set due to be sold at auction in London this month, which were part of a haul of antique silverware recovered by Gloucestershire police.
The Art Loss Register was able to trace the owner of the 21cm tall candlesticks by their distinctive 18th century rampant lion hallmark. They were insured with NFU Mutual for £14,000.
The candlesticks were stolen from the owner, an antique shop proprietor, in Gloucester in 1997.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
