FAQs

A taperstick is a smaller version of a candlestick, specifically designed to hold a thin wax taper used for melting sealing wax on correspondence or lighting pipes and larger candles.

Georgian tapersticks were typically crafted from sterling silver using processes such as casting for the base and stem components, followed by hand-chasing and polishing.

Authenticity is verified by examining the hallmarks stamped on the silver, which usually include the makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling standard, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office records.

They can be displayed on mantelpieces, sideboards, or desks to add a touch of historical metallic sheen and reflective detail to traditional or eclectic interiors.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized non-abrasive silver cloth or mild detergent in warm water, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the natural patina.
