AC Silver has dated this piece to the 1890s.
The circular rounded capitals of these Victorian candle holders are each embellished with impressive embossed layered leaf decoration.
The capitals retain the original square push fit sconces, ornamented to the rim with embossed egg decorated borders.
The cylindrical shaped column of each candle holder is embellished with an embossed convex barley twist style design; this composition of candlestick is often referred to as 'bamboo style'.
These impressive columns surmount square stepped bases, each ornamented with further bands of embossed foliate decoration.
These piano candle holders have weighted bases and are fitted with baize to the underside.
Condition
These antique Victorian candle holders are an excellent gauge of silver, excellent quality and in excellent condition.
The embossed decoration is all very sharp.
Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each base are all very clear.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these piano candle holders in antique silver.
