George III Mahogany Torchere Candle Stand

18th century
Description

An Extremely Attractive And Very Good Quality Late 18th Century, George III Period, Mahogany Torchere, or Candle Stand, Having Well Figured Octagonal Top With Elegant Wavy Gallery, Raised On Fine Turned Central Column Terminating With Downswelt Tripod Legs.

The actual definition of a torchere is a lamp on a tall stand made of wood or metal. However these days any kind of tall antique table, or stand, upon which a lamp or candlesticks may have been placed upon tends to be referred to as a torchere. Alternatively you will sometimes hear an item like this referred to as a candle stand, the reason for which doesn’t really need explaining obviously.

This is a very good quality example, dating to the late 18th or very early 19th century and very much English in construction, not made in the Netherlands like many that you will see.

A useful little item there is a wide variety of spaces around the home which this georgian occasional table would come in extremely useful, as well as looking incredibly elegant.

As with all of the items which we offer for sale this lovely little item has been attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers where it has been inspected and recieved a good clean plus a natural wax polish.

Circa 1800.

Height 32in.

Width 10.5in.

Depth 10.5in.

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.
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.

A Georgian torchere stand is a tall, slender accent table crafted primarily during the 18th century to hold candles, oil lamps, or decorative urns elevated off the floor.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as Cuban mahogany, walnut, or oak, often finished with beeswax or shellac to accentuate the wood grain.

Authentic pieces usually feature hand-turned central columns, hand-carved joinery at the tripod base, original wax patina, and faint circular saw marks consistent with period tools.

Place the stand in an unused alcove or corner to display a trailing houseplant, a contemporary sculpture, or a classic desk lamp.

Dust the wood regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
