FAQs

George II silver design, prominent in mid-18th-century Britain, is characterised by Rococo motifs including scrolling shell details, fluted knops, and cast multi-tiered stems on weighted bases.

Eighteenth-century silver candlesticks were produced by casting sections in sand moulds, followed by hand-chasing details and soldering the elements together before submitting the piece for hallmarking.

Authentic George II silver features official British hallmarks on the base or sconce collar, including the makers mark, lion passant for sterling purity, leopards head for London, and the period date letter.

Antique silver candlesticks serve as central accents on dining tables, sideboards, or mantels, creating contrast against natural timber, marble surfaces, or contemporary neutral backdrops.

Sterling silver should be maintained with a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cotton cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and kept in tarnish-resistant cloth covers to limit oxidisation.
