Pair Victorian Silver Candlesticks Sheffield 1894

19th century
For Sale by Aramis Antiques
Description

A fine pair of Victorian silver candlesticks with clear hallmarks for Sheffield 1894 and makers mark for Hawksworth Eyre & Co. These candlesticks reflect the taste of Queen Victoria’s heir, Prince Edward, later Edward VII, who with his wide Alexandra, were leaders of taste and fashion at the time. The design echoes the classical elegance of the Regency era, with the oval shape and the scalloped petal pattern on the bases and sconces, interlinked by fluted shafts, and reeded edging. The sconces separate from the top and are hallmarked. The height is 22cm, a medium but not dwarf height. They are in excellent condition.

Loaded weight 30oz/920gr.

Aramis Antiques has dated these Victorian Silver Candlesticks to the 1890s.

A matched pair of Victorian sterling silver candlesticks, made in Sheffield in 1894 by Hawksworth Eyre and Co, embody the classical elegance of the late nineteenth century. The set has a bright silver finish with polished reflective surfaces and natural dark tarnish within the recesses. Each candlestick stands 22 cm high with a 12 cm wide and 9 cm deep circular base, featuring detachable hallmarked sconces, fluted tapered shafts, reeded bands, and scalloped petal patterns on both the bases and sconces. The weighted pieces sit securely on any flat surface. Traditional dining room settings suit these candlesticks well, providing an effective centrepiece for a dining table, sideboard, or mantelpiece. They add traditional character and ambient lighting to formal dinners or everyday living spaces, pairing easily with classical interior schemes.

FAQs

Victorian silver candlesticks produced during the late nineteenth century frequently feature revivalist designs, including Neoclassical fluting, stepped circular bases, and structured geometric columns.

These lighting pieces were typically cast or struck from sterling silver, which is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver combined with copper to increase rigidity and durability.

Authentic pieces feature a complete set of British hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, the crown mark for the Sheffield assay office, a specific date letter, and a makers mark stamped into the base.

A pair of silver candlesticks can be placed as a symmetrical focal point on a modern dining table, sideboard, or fireplace mantelpiece to add visual balance and metallic sheen.

Silver should be cleaned periodically using a soft cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can strip detailing or damage the metal surface.
