FAQs

Ejector candlesticks, also known as push-up candlesticks, feature an internal mechanism with a slide or plunger that allows the user to raise the candle stub as it burns down or eject the wax remnant easily. Popular throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, these functional brass pieces were standard household lighting accessories during the Victorian era.

19th-century brass candlesticks were typically cast in molten brass using multi-part moulds, then lathe-turned, assembled, and hand-burnished. The ejector mechanism comprised an internal rod connected to a base tab, sliding vertically within the hollow stem.

Authentic Victorian brass pieces generally feature visible seam lines from casting, hand-turned knops along the column, and heavy, solid bases. The presence of a functional or original push-up mechanism with minor signs of historical wear and solder marks under the base often indicates genuine period manufacture.

Pair brass candlesticks on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard alongside minimalist ceramics and contemporary glassware to balance classic metalwork with modern aesthetics. Using neutral, tall taper candles enhances their vertical silhouette while adding warmth to ambient lighting setups.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and remove residual candle wax by soaking the holders briefly in warm water before gently peeling the wax away. Polish sparingly using a specialised brass cleaner and microfibre cloth to preserve the natural surface details and patina.
