The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Beehive candlesticks are a popular style of Victorian candle holder characterised by turned brass shafts featuring stacked, ribbed rings that resemble traditional straw beehives or skeps. Produced predominantly throughout the 19th century in Britain, they were designed for domestic tabletop illumination.

These pieces were typically cast in brass using multi-part sand moulds, after which the turned components were joined together and finished on a lathe. Many Victorian examples include internal push-up ejector mechanisms designed to raise wax stubs out of the socket.

Original pieces display hand-lathed turning marks, subtle asymmetries from manual casting, and slight wear around high-contact areas like the base and socket. They also possess substantial visual weight and often show natural patination or slight surface oxidation within hard-to-reach crevices.

Place a pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining centrepiece to add metallic warmth and historical contrast to modern rooms. Combining them with neutral taper candles and surrounding organic materials creates a balanced, layered display.

Remove residual wax by immersing the bases in hot water until soft, avoiding abrasive scraping tools that scratch the surface. Polish gently with a dedicated brass cleaner and soft cotton cloth to preserve the natural metal surface without removing desirable patination.
