19th century
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of antique Victorian English sterling silver two-light candelabra; an addition to our Victorian silverware collection.

These exceptional antique Victorian sterling silver candelabra have a classical square-shaped form, replicating the details of a classic English George I style.

Each impressive two light candelabrum retains the original hallmarked detachable push fit scrolling arms embellished with reed decoration.

The branches (labra) support two rounded waisted capitals with plain circular dished drip pans, ornamented with applied gadroon decorated borders.

The capitals are fitted with the original hallmarked push fit circular sconces, embellished with further gadroon decorated borders to the rims.

Each Victorian silver candelabrum bears a central fluted decorated boss, ornamented reflecting the same dish pan design as the capitals.

These versatile Victorian candelabra can be used as candlesticks once the arms are detached.

The square-shaped stepped foot incorporates a plain sunken well encircled with gadroon decoration to a plain collet style rim.

These Victorian silver candelabra have filled bases and bear a solid silver underside.

These exceptional 2 arm candelabra are the finest of their type you could hope to acquire.

This exquisite pair of antique silver candelabra combine traditional elegance and high-quality silverware.

They are perfect gifts for weddings, anniversaries or as an heirloom-worthy centrepiece for formal dining.

Condition

These exceptional antique candelabra are a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

Each component has been professionally polished and is in presentation condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of each base, in addition to part hallmarks to the rim, sleeve of the boss and sleeve of each sconce are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this sterling silver candelabra pair.

Archival Detail
Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Victorian sterling silver candelabra frequently incorporate Classical Revival influences, featuring baluster stems, reeded branches, and decorative knops inspired by earlier 18th-century silhouettes. Late 19th-century examples often balanced detailed hand-finishing with clean, balanced proportions suitable for formal dining.

These lighting fixtures were crafted from sterling silver (925 parts per 1000 purity), with stems and bases formed through casting or raised sheet metal techniques. The arms were constructed separately with precision sockets, allowing the multi-light branches to be removed so the base could function as a single candlestick.

Authentic British pieces feature a full set of official assay hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark. Removable components such as branches and drip pans often bear matching partial hallmarks to confirm original assembly.

Place silver candelabra as a formal centrepiece on a dining table or arrange them symmetrically atop a dark wood sideboard or marble fireplace mantel. Their reflective surface creates strong visual contrast against modern matte finishes and deep wall shades.

Tarnish should be removed periodically using a non-abrasive silver polish applied with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid submerging weighted bases in water, and remove melted candle wax by flushing the sconces with warm water rather than scraping with metal tools.
