FAQs

Prince of Wales candlesticks feature design elements associated with the heraldic badge of the Prince of Wales, such as feather motifs, incorporated into Neoclassical or Georgian proportions with tapered square columns and stepped bases.

Traditional candlesticks were cast in solid brass, bronze, or silver plate, utilizing sand-casting or lost-wax techniques before being finished with hand-chasing and polishing.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-finishing, seam lines from multi-part moulds, threaded construction joining the column to the base, and gentle wear on the underside.

Positioning a symmetrical pair of brass candlesticks on a mantelpiece, dining table, or sideboard creates an elegant focal point that introduces warm metallic tones to contemporary interior settings.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and remove wax buildup using warm water; avoid abrasive chemical polishes to protect the metal surface and maintain the natural patina.
