Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Concentric lathe lines across the underside: turned brass work before modern metal spinning.
Central peened pin through the foot: traditional mechanical assembly without modern brazing.
Integrated side hook on the stem: holds wick shears on traditional Japanese altar stands.
Green verdigris in the screw threads of the pricket: natural ageing in the crevices.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This pair of nineteenth century Japanese Meiji bronze candlesticks displays a rich dark bronze metallic finish and stands 73 cm high with a 31 cm diameter. Each tall piece rests upon a wide circular base drip tray decorated with a sixteen leaf inspired imperial chrysanthemum emblem at the centre, rising to a slender stem fitted with a small side wick hook. The upper section comprises a saucer drip tray with a pricket top surmounted by a distinctive arched handle. Original old patination covers the smooth metal surfaces throughout. These decorative candlesticks suit placement upon a sideboard top or within a gentleman's library. The matching pair provides functional lighting hardware while displaying traditional metalwork craftsmanship from the Meiji period.

FAQs

Traditional Japanese bronze candlesticks, historically known as shokudai, were crafted for use in Buddhist temples, shrines, and domestic altars primarily during the Edo and Meiji periods.

These pieces were cast in bronze or brass using lost-wax casting methods, featuring slender multifaceted shafts, wide circular drip trays, and vertical prickets designed to secure wax candles.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-finished details, age-consistent surface patination, structural casting joins along the stem, and functional components such as integrated wick hooks or pricket pins.

Positioning a matching pair on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table introduces architectural height, warm metallic tones, and balance within minimalist or curated eclectic settings.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply a thin layer of clear microcrystalline wax to preserve the aged surface patination while avoiding abrasive metal polishes.
