Pair of Antique "Arts and Crafts" Pewter Candlesticks

1900 - 1920
Description

A fine and attractive Pair of Early 20th Century Antique Pewter Candlesticks of transitional design, but likely to be considered by most collectors as being in the Arts and Crafts manner, rather than Art Nouveau. Whilst they appear to be unmarked, we have refrained from removing the inset bases which may of course be obscuring a Maker's Mark, although the overall design would suggest a Scandinavian provenance. Minor dent to rim of one candlestick, which, whilst in no way detracting from the beauty of the pair, may nevertheless be examined and considered via the illustrations.

Height ~ 19.50 cm. / 7.68 inches ~ Width ~ 12.50 cm. / 4.92 inches ~ Depth ~ 12.50 cm. / 4.92 inches ~ Year ~ Circa 1910

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1910s:
Hand-hammered stems: surface planishing typical of Arts and Crafts metalwork.
Heavily creased paper base linings: undisturbed undersides showing many decades of age.
Stylised foliate mounts on the bases: early twentieth-century northern European design.
Soft mellow pewter surface: natural oxidisation built up over extended handling.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This pair of early 20th century candlesticks originates from 1910 in the Arts and Crafts style. The items are fashioned from pewter in a pewter grey colour with a hand-hammered finish. Each candlestick possesses a tapered stem, a flared circular top, and a broad circular base adorned with subtle relief motifs around the edge. The grey metal displays a lustrous metallic sheen and visible hammer indentations across the vertical surfaces. Measuring 19.5 cm high by 12.5 cm wide and 12.5 cm deep, these tabletop accessories fit comfortably upon a mantelpiece or a gentleman's library desk to provide ambient illumination in a traditional interior space. The heavy metallic construction ensures stability when holding burning tapers, while the compact footprint suits smaller display surfaces.

Originating in the late 19th century, Arts and Crafts metalware emphasises traditional craftsmanship, visible hand-tooling such as hammered surfaces, and simple organic forms.

Craftsmen primarily used metals such as copper, brass, bronze, and pewter, often hand-hammered to showcase the artisan process rather than machine-polished perfection.

Authentic pieces frequently exhibit subtle hand-hammered dimpling, joinery marks, simplified geometric or botanical motifs, and maker marks from studios such as Liberty & Co or Tudric.

Place a pair on a wooden mantelpiece, dining table, or sideboard to contrast dark metallic tones with natural timber and modern soft furnishings.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive polishes, as preserving the natural grey patina and surface oxidisation maintains the historical finish.
