The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Candlesticks from the 17th century Baroque period feature sculptural architectural forms, deep relief hand-carving, and classical decorative motifs such as acanthus leaves, cherubs, and scrollwork. They were often crafted for religious institutions or stately residences.

Softwoods like limewood were favoured by sculptors due to their fine grain and ease of detailed carving. These pieces were often left as natural wood, gilded, or painted, and typically fitted with iron prickets at the top to secure tall wax candles.

Authentic period pieces display hand-tool marks from chisels and gouges, asymmetrical wear patterns, and natural wood shrinkage along the grain over centuries. Unfinished areas often exhibit a deep, muted patina developed through age rather than artificial staining.

Position a singular tall candlestick on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece alongside contemporary art or streamlined ceramics to create a striking textural contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern minimalism.

Keep carved limewood in a climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood movement or splitting. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid applying liquid polishes or water.
