FAQs

A chamber stick is a portable candle holder featuring a shallow pan and a handle, historically used to light the way through dark hallways and bedrooms before the invention of electric lighting.

These items were predominantly constructed from sterling silver, Sheffield plate, brass, or pewter, often manufactured using traditional techniques such as stamping, casting, and hand-finishing.

Authentic pieces are identified through clear hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating silver purity, a town assay mark, and a date letter.

This piece can be placed upon a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or coffee table to introduce metallic texture and historical character into a contemporary living space.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners that can wear away the delicate hallmarks and surface detail.
