This 19th century Victorian Neoclassical candlestick stands as an antique English desk accessory in silver plate and copper, with a warm brown and silver colour scheme. The piece comprises a fluted column shaft rising from a stepped square base, topped by a foliate leaf capital. Decorative elements include an egg and dart border along the base, maker's marks reading H E & Co. EP stamped on the foot, and wear revealing the glowing underlying copper where much of the silver plating has worn away. Measuring 14 cm high by 9 cm wide by 9 cm deep, it possesses a compact footprint well suited for practical placement on a home office desk, study writing table, or library mantelpiece to hold a taper candle.

FAQs

A Victorian columnar candlestick is a metal lighting accent produced during the nineteenth century, designed to mimic classical Greek and Roman architectural pillars, such as Corinthian or Ionic columns.

These candlesticks were manufactured by electrochemically depositing a thin layer of pure silver onto a base metal, typically nickel silver, brass, or copper, over a cast metal core.

Authenticity is indicated by maker marks stamped into the metal base, such as EPNS or specific manufacturer logos, alongside weighted square bases and classical ornamentation like fluting or foliate motifs.

Position the candlestick alongside leather-bound books on a dark wood desk, or place it on a mantelpiece paired with botanical illustrations to create balanced visual texture.

Maintain silver plate by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying specialized, non-abrasive silver polish sparingly to prevent wearing down the thin outer layer of silver.
