FAQs

Column-style candlesticks draw direct inspiration from classical architecture, particularly Corinthian and Doric orders, gaining immense popularity during the Georgian and Victorian eras as neoclassical motifs swept through European design.

These pieces are typically manufactured using a base metal such as copper or brass, which is then coated with a layer of silver via electroplating or old Sheffield plate methods, often weighted at the base with resin or plaster for stability.

Authenticity is determined by examining maker marks, hallmarks, or manufacturer stamps on the base or nozzle, alongside assessing wear patterns, patination of the underlying base metal, and traditional construction techniques.

They can be used as a contrasting focal point on a modern dining table or sideboard, mixing historical metallic elements with clean-lined contemporary furnishings to add textural depth.

Silver plate should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to avoid wearing through the thin silver layer, and stored in a low-humidity environment to minimise tarnishing.
