Antique Victorian Large Silver Plated Five Branch Candelabra Dining Table Centrepiece with Detachable Sconces

19th century
Description

A large and impressive antique Victorian silver plated five branch candelabra of superb decorative quality, ideal as a striking dining table centrepiece.

The candelabra stands on a beautifully shaped base with richly cast scrolling decoration, rising to a tall tapering central column which supports four elegant sweeping branches together with a central candle socket forming a five light arrangement. Each arm is finely modelled with decorative mounts and scrolling detail typical of high quality Victorian silver plate.

A particularly desirable feature is that the branches and sconces are fully detachable. This allows the piece to be used either as a grand five branch candelabra or converted into individual candlesticks, making it both decorative and highly versatile.

The elegant proportions, elaborate casting and impressive scale make this a wonderful statement piece for a dining table, sideboard or centrepiece display. Pieces of this size and presence are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

FAQs

Victorian silver-plated candelabras are multi-armed lighting fixtures produced during the reign of Queen Victoria, typically featuring elaborate cast or stamped ornamentation such as foliage, scrolls, and classical motifs. Manufactured using electroplating techniques, these items provided the appearance of solid sterling silver at a more accessible production cost.

Most silver-plated candelabras from this period were constructed from nickel silver, brass, or copper base metals coated with a thin layer of fine silver via electroplating (EPNS). Internal iron rods were frequently inserted into the main column to provide structural weight and stability.

Authenticity is indicated by makers stamps or electroplate marks such as EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver) or EPBM (Electroplated Britannia Metal). Additional identifiers include characteristic Victorian design motifs, visible wear down to the base metal on high points, and detachable wax sconces.

A large silver candelabra functions as a central focal point on a formal dining table, sideboard, or mantelpiece. It contrasts with minimalist or dark wooden surfaces and blends well alongside modern glassware and contemporary linen setting arrangements.

Silver-plated items require non-abrasive silver polishes applied gently with a soft microfibre cloth to avoid wearing through the thin silver layer. Spilled candle wax should be removed by rinsing with warm water rather than scraping with metal tools.
