This pair of Jacobean Revival candlesticks, dating from circa 1920, exemplifies traditional English country house style through classic woodworking techniques and thoughtful material selection. Each piece combines a rich dark brown oak construction with cast brass hardware fixed to the top, showing prominent wood grain patterns across the timber surfaces alongside minor surface wear and an age-appropriate patina. The design incorporates intricately turned, spiralled open barley twist stems rising from circular stepped bases, topped by fluted brass sconces with distinct relief decoration. Standing 35.5 cm high with a 14 cm base width, these decorative candlesticks function well on a mantelpiece, sideboard or dining table to add warmth and character to interior spaces.

FAQs

Open barley twist candlesticks feature a hollow spiral stem design, a variation of the Solomonic column popularised during the Jacobean Revival and early twentieth-century decorative movements.

These pieces are usually carved from dense hardwoods such as oak or mahogany and fitted with brass or metal sconces at the top to hold candles and protect the wood from heat.

Authentic period examples display prominent grain consistent with English oak, open helical turning, and original metal inserts showing natural age-related patination.

Placing a pair on a modern sideboard, mantelpiece, or dining table introduces warm wood tones and vertical structural interest against contemporary backdrops.

Dust the wooden shafts regularly with a dry cloth, apply natural beeswax polish along the grain, and gently clean wax residue from the metal inserts without abrasive compounds.
