Catalogue Note
Le poid gravé au revers de chaque flambeau, 21 lots 3 1/2 pfennig et 21 lots 3 pfennig correspond à 310.13g et 309.6g. Les flambeaux pèsent aujourd'hui respectivement 304.5g and 303.9g, ce qui signifie qu'ils se sont très peu usés après 300 ans.
The contemporary weights engraved on the underside of each candlestick, 21 lots 3 1/2 pfennig and 21 lots 3 pfennig correspond to the modern weights of 310.13gr and 309.6gr respectively. Hanover used the Cologne standard in the 17th/18th century where 1 lot weighed 14.616gr. There were 16 pfennig in a lot. The weight now of the candlesticks of 304.5gr and 303.9gr shows how little they have worn in over 300 years.
