Antique Quality Pair of Tall Silver-plated Candlesticks

19th century
Description

A fine pair of tall antique silver-plated candlesticks, elegantly proportioned and standing on substantial shaped bases. Each example features a tapering column shaft rising from a stepped lobed base, decorated with scrolling foliate and rococo-revival ornament.

The removable sconces are finely worked with matching chased borders. Subtle copper tones visible beneath the silver plate are consistent with quality period manufacture and add depth to the surface.

The candlesticks have excellent presence, their notable height giving strong visual impact when displayed on a sideboard, console, or chimneypiece. A decorative and versatile pair, suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Condition

In very good antique condition, with light surface wear and gentle rubbing to the silver plate commensurate with age and use. Minor copper bleed is visible in places. Both candlesticks retain their original removable sconces.

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.

Silver-plated candlesticks gained widespread popularity in the 19th century following the development of Sheffield plating and electroplating techniques. These processes allowed manufacturers to fuse a layer of fine silver onto base metals such as copper or nickel brass, offering the luxurious appearance of solid silver at a lower production cost.

These items typically consist of a core metalsuch as copper, brass, or Britannia metalcoated in a surface layer of pure silver. The bases are frequently weighted with resin or pitch to provide stability for tall stems.

Authentic pieces often feature makers marks, electroplate stamps such as EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver), or Sheffield plate marks near the rim or base. Natural age wear, such as subtle copper showing through high-recess areas, also indicates authentic historic plating.

Set a pair of silver-plated candlesticks at the centre of a dining table or on a wooden sideboard to contrast traditional metalware against contemporary textures. Grouping them with glass or ceramics creates a layered, eclectic vignette.

Clean silver plate using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver foam or polish specifically formulated for plated metals. Remove candle wax buildup by soaking the affected areas in warm water rather than scraping with sharp objects.
