Pair of Elegant Silver Candlesticks

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a lovely pair of solid sterling silver candlesticks, dating from the beginning of the Edwardian era.

They are clearly hallmarked on the base for Sheffield 1902, with the maker's mark of Hawksworth, Eyre & Co.

They have a striking hexagonal form with a tapering facetted body. The removable sconces have beaded rims which are echoed in a small beaded circlet at the base of the body and just above the narrowest part of the neck. There are initials on the weighted bases, which have a good covering of green felt to protect the furniture upon which they are placed. The rim under one of the sconces is slightly misshapen, but otherwise they are in a fantastic condition given their age.

Dimensions:

Height: 25cm

Base Width: 13cm at widest point.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Faceted hexagonal silver candlesticks became prominent during the Neo-Classical and Georgian periods in Britain, drawing inspiration from classical architecture and geometry. The multi-sided design offered enhanced light reflection across polished silver surfaces.

Traditional silver candlesticks were crafted from sterling silver, comprising 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. The bases were frequently weighted with pitch or resin to ensure stability during use.

Authentic British silver candlesticks display officially struck hallmarks, including a makers mark, town mark, purity mark, and date letter. Collectors also inspect construction details such as cast seams, weighted bases, and hand-engraved monograms.

Silver candlesticks can be arranged as a central focal point on a dining table or placed symmetrically on a sideboard or mantelpiece. Combining metallic silver accents with dark wood surfaces or minimalist ceramics creates a balanced visual contrast.

Silver candlesticks should be dusted regularly with a soft microfibre cloth to minimise tarnish accumulation. Occasional polishing with a specialized non-abrasive silver cleaner will preserve the reflective finish without wearing down fine hallmarked details.
