This pair of sterling silver candlesticks from the 1920 neoclassical revival period stands out with a reflective metallic silver finish and substantial structural weight. Each piece incorporates a fluted column design topped with a Corinthian capital, supported by a square stepped base decorated with hanging garland swags and beaded borders along the edges. The polished metal shows subtle surface reflections across its vertical shafts and angled footplates. Measuring 23.5 cm in height, these functional decorative items provide stable placement for taper candles. They suit placement on a mantelpiece or a dining table during formal meals, adding a traditional aesthetic to domestic settings.

FAQs

Corinthian column candlesticks became prominent during the Neoclassical movement of the late eighteenth century, drawing inspiration from classical Greek and Roman architecture. The style experienced renewed popularity during the late Victorian, Edwardian, and George V eras, featuring classical capitals, fluted shafts, and stepped square bases.

Traditional silver candlesticks from this period were crafted from sterling silver stamped with official British assay hallmarks indicating purity, maker, location, and date. To ensure stability during use, the hollow silver bases were frequently weighted with resin, pitch, or plaster.

Authentic British silver features a series of stamped symbols including a lion passant for sterling purity, a town mark such as a crown for Sheffield, a date letter, and a makers mark. These marks are typically located along the lower rim or stepped edge of the base.

Position a pair on a dark timber dining table or marble mantelpiece to provide vertical height and classical symmetry. They contrast effectively against modern minimalism or complement formal dining settings when paired with tall taper candles.

Polish periodically with a specialised silver polish and soft microfibre cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh abrasive chemicals. Ensure leftover candle wax is removed gently using warm water rather than sharp implements that could scratch the metal.
