From what i can tell it’s candelabrum made in Vienna, 1854 and 812/1000 fine. That’s as far as i can get. Perhaps someone with a more trained eye can take a look at this?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. However this is not really helping. The page leads to nowhere

I’ve given you verified links to sites that should help you with a little intellectual effort. No one has complained so far… I’m getting old…
Almost everyone expects a ready answer without any input of their own… I am terrified by human laziness…
When people ask questions, they’re hoping for an answer. “Go look it up yourself” is not an answer. Sending someone down a bottomless rabbit hole is not an answer. Which part of this do you not understand?

But you really haven’t. I’m just telling straight how it is that your one link doesn’t lead anywhere. And your response hasn’t proven me otherwise. Unfortunately, i’m more terrified by your cynicism. If you don’t want to help that’s okay too. But don’t reply then. I have already tried googling.

I am not an art historian or archeologist, and my education has nothing to do with antiques or learning about their origins and history. I rely on the same “rabbit holes” to which I refer those looking for answers that I sometimes do not have the strength, time, or desire to provide.
I recommend that those who accuse me of cynicism read the cases of people I have helped here.
I use the resources of the Internet, to which you have free access. I cannot neglect my family, work, and other obligations just because someone does not want to think, read, and finally solve the puzzle. Being here was supposed to give me joy. Malicious comments only deepen my embarrassment.
Yourbestbob, take a look at my post… Salt cellar - 1867? I figured it all out myself, I only asked for confirmation. Zero response. And you accuse me of cynicism…

Silver fineness was indicated in “loth” (until 1867):
12 loth = 750/1000
13 loth = 812/1000
14 loth = 875/1000
15 loth = 937/1000.
1854, maker’s mark is illegible.
Yes, that’s also how far i got

Have you tried gently cleaning up the signature? Sometimes taking a photo from different angles of light will give you a good result.
