This pair of antique candlesticks dates from 1880 and takes the form of Neoclassical Corinthian columns. Produced from silver-plated metal, the pieces display a bright, reflective silver colour with rich modelling across the capitals and square stepped bases. The shafts carry spiralling garlands of acanthus foliage, while crisp beaded moulding runs along the bottom edges of the square bases. Removable, square foliate-rimmed sconces sit at the top to frame each candle aperture. Each candlestick measures 34 cm high, 14.5 cm wide, and 14.5 cm deep. Placement in a home today works naturally on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining setting to create balanced symmetry. The classical proportions and formal decorative motifs bring a structured presence to interior surfaces. Regular placement alongside evening dining arrangements or central living room displays utilizes the reflective metallic finish effectively. The sturdy square footprints anchor each column securely on flat display surfaces while holding standard taper candles.

FAQs

Neoclassical column candlesticks replicate classical architectural pillars, incorporating acanthus leaf capitals, fluted or decorated shafts, and stepped square bases inspired by ancient Greek and Roman design.

Candlesticks from this period were predominantly manufactured from solid sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), often filled with pitch, rosin, or lead at the base to provide weight and stability.

Authentic pieces feature manufacturer makers marks or electroplate stamps on the rim or base, crisp cast detailing on the capitals, and characteristic signs of age such as gentle wear to high points revealing underlying base metal.

A pair of column candlesticks creates formal symmetry when positioned at the centre of a dining table or placed at opposing ends of a fireplace mantelpiece alongside contemporary artwork or modern ceramics.

Clean silver plate using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners. Remove residual candle wax by submerging the affected area in warm water until the wax softens, avoiding hot water contact with weighted bases.
