Original Victorian Ace of Diamonds Brass Candlesticks 14" James Clews Jubilee

19th century
Description

Genuine pair of Victorian brass candlesticks, circa 1887, stamped marks on both;

THE ACE OF DIAMONDS

In excellent condition with no damage or repair, complete with push button ejector system.

These large heavy 14" core cast hand finished candlesticks pushed the boat out for this manufacturing process, so Aces do often have a varying degrees of small insignificant manufacturing faults, textures, and surface marks although this pair are virtually without fault, a small pocket of lead infill on the neck of one base, see last photo.

14" or 355mm tall, weight 2212 grams

Not recently cleaned or polished.

Produced by James Clews and Sons of Manilla Works, 195 Aston Road, Birmingham to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887 commemorating the Queens Coronation on 28 June 1837 at Westminster Abbey.

The largest of the series of Diamond candlesticks by this maker and far and away the hardest to find compared to Kings, Queens,Princes & Princesses.

FAQs

Ace of Diamonds candlesticks are nineteenth-century brass candle holders distinguished by a faceted, diamond-shaped knop situated along the baluster stem. Many examples were manufactured in Birmingham, England, around 1887 to commemorate Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee.

These pieces were typically cast from solid brass alloys using multi-part sand moulds. The components were lathe-turned, threaded, and assembled with an internal steel rod, often featuring a internal push-up mechanism to eject spent candle wax.

Authentic pieces frequently bear stamped maker marks on the base, such as James Clews or a Jubilee mark alongside registration numbers. Original examples display heavy casting weight, hand-finished turnings, and subtle signs of age such as minor surface patination.

Pairing heavy metalwork with minimalist surfaces creates a balanced contrast. Placing a symmetrical pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or dining table centerpiece provides historical weight without overwhelming modern decorative schemes.

Wax deposits should be removed by soaking the metal in warm water to soften the residue before wiping with a soft cloth. Polishing with a specialized metal cleaner will restore surface shine, though leaving a gentle layer of natural tarnish preserves historical patina.
