This pair of large Victorian brass candlesticks dates from 1880, exhibiting a classic English Country House style. Each piece comprises a polished gold-coloured brass construction with a warm metallic finish showing subtle surface wear consistent with age. The design includes a turned socket, a knopped stem with multiple faceted knops, and a heavy stepped hexagonal base. The set measures 43 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 14 cm deep. Suitable for traditional interior settings, these candlesticks sit neatly on a mantelpiece or a dining table to provide ambient lighting. They complement wooden surfaces such as sideboards or console tables, integrating easily into both formal and relaxed living spaces as decorative accessories.

FAQs

Victorian brass candlesticks are characterised by detailed turned stems featuring distinctive knops, solid cast metal construction, and geometric bases ranging from circular to octagonal or hexagonal shapes.

During the nineteenth century, brass candlesticks were typically cast in two vertical halves, brazed together, and turned on a lathe to create refined decorative knapping and smooth polished surfaces.

Authentic pieces often exhibit fine seam lines along the stem from the casting process, internal ejector mechanisms, slight asymmetry from hand-finishing, and age-appropriate wear to the base.

Placing a pair of brass candlesticks symmetrically on a mantelpiece or dining table introduces warm metallic tones and structural height, creating a visual accent within modern or traditional spaces.

Remove wax residue using warm water and a non-abrasive cloth. Apply a specialised brass polish sparingly if a high shine is preferred, or allow the surface to naturally oxidise to maintain its original patina.
