Identification of 2 candlesticks

I’m looking for any information about these two candlesticks.
Height = 72cm
Both are marked BMV but only one has punch marks
– A wheel (?) with the dates 1741 1743
– A pelican or a phoenix with letters C.R.
Do you have any information about these items ?
Are they antic ?

Best regards from France

This mark is from a unknown master CR from Erfurth (Germany) above a pelican feeding its young, city mark Erfurt wheel below the dates "1741 / 1743.". The engraved initiales are owner initials, probably from a church.
