A wonderful pair of wooden candlesticks, always a winning combination, polished Oak and brass.

Not to be confused with a simple pair of twists, these are the highly sought-after "open" twists, with two hand carved twists spiraling around each other.

The highly decorative cast brass drip trays are to protect the wood from hot wax drips, the brass re-polished to gleam.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. 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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Barley twist candlesticks feature spiral-turned shafts inspired by Solomonic columns, a decorative style popularised in England during the seventeenth-century Jacobean era and widely produced through to the early twentieth century.

These items were typically turned on a lathe using dense hardwoods such as oak or walnut, often finished with brass or copper sconce inserts at the top to securely hold candles and collect melting wax.

Authentic period examples often exhibit slight hand-turned variations in the spiral profile, natural oxidisation on the metal elements, and visible signs of aged patina along the wooden base and shaft.

Positioning a pair of turned wooden candlesticks on a minimalist sideboard, mantelpiece, or dining table introduces warmth, texture, and historic balance to contemporary room schemes.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply clear beeswax polish periodically, taking care to clean metal nozzles with dedicated brass cleaner to avoid discolouring the wood.
