The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Emerging in mid-18th century England, these candlesticks feature a distinct six-lobed or petal-shaped base paired with baluster-turned stems, reflecting the Rococo influence during the reign of King George II.

They were typically cast in heavy brass using two-part sand moulds, often brazed vertically or assembled with internal threaded rods, and finished by hand-turning on a lathe.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit signs of hand-turning, variable thickness in the cast walls, seam lines under the base, and age-consistent wear around the socket and knops.

Pair them atop a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard to add warm metallic tones and historic structure alongside contemporary ceramics or minimalist decor.

Remove residual wax by rinsing under warm water, clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply a non-abrasive brass polish sparsely to maintain surface lustre without stripping historic patina.
