A pair of late eighteenth century silver-plated brass candlesticks originating from France, designed in the Georgian style with a grand Regency aesthetic. Each piece is formed with an octagonal base, a faceted column, and knopped stems supporting a hexagonal candle cup, complemented by a silvered replacement cup and slight wear to the silver plate commensurate with age. The polished reflective surface shows bright silver highlights against darker shadows on the metallic facets, while the draped background fabric provides a dark grey and charcoal velvet texture, and the surfaces display subtle surface scuffs and handling marks. The candlesticks measure 23.5 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 13 cm deep. These decorative table accessories suit placement on a sideboard top in a dining room, living room, or hallway to provide classical illumination and architectural interest. They sit well among traditional or period home furnishings as a matched pair, reflecting light from nearby sources across their multifaceted profiles.

FAQs

Candlesticks from the late Georgian era typically feature Neoclassical proportions, incorporating faceted or knopped stems, urn-shaped nozzles, and geometric bases such as octagonal or oval shapes.

During this period, silver plating was primarily achieved through the Old Sheffield Plate process, which involved fusing a layer of sterling silver onto a copper ingot before rolling it into sheets and shaping it by hand.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of copper showing through worn areas, known as bleeding, as well as hand-chased construction seams, weighted bases lined with wood or pitch, and characteristic period silversmith marks.

Place silver-plated candlesticks as a central focal point on a dining table, arrange them symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, or style them alongside contemporary glassware on a sideboard.

Clean silver plate using a soft cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish formulated for historic metals, avoiding harsh chemical dips or abrasive scrubbing that can strip the delicate silver layer.
