Pair of Antique English Victorian Brass Candlesticks

19th century
For Sale by Antiques4EU
Description

A large Pair of Mid 19th Century Antique English Victorian Brass Candlesticks of good quality and interesting design, their elaborate columns rising from square card-cut bases. Each retains it's original push-ejector rod and button for removing the spent candle stub, while a most unusual feature is the legend, "GOOD LUCK" together with a "lucky" horse-shoe stamped upon each base. This giving rise to the thought that this pattern may perhaps originally have been produced for a family of Travellers.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Internal push-ejector rods with buttons: typical candle-clearing mechanism of 19th-century manufacture.
Rough sand-cast texture inside the base: unmachined foundry work of the period.
Dark oxidised verdigris in the hollows: natural ageing on unpolished interior brass.
Bullseye knops and bevelled canted bases: popular late Victorian domestic brass styling.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

A pair of nineteenth century English Victorian brass candlesticks in the English Country House style display an elaborate polished gold finish and construction from solid brass. Each piece comprises a turned baluster stem with distinct concentric circle engraving, rising from an octagonal base stamped with a horseshoe motif alongside the text "GOOD LUCK". The decorative scheme includes intricate mouldings along the stems, reflective metallic surfaces, and well-defined square card-cut bases. Original push-ejector rods and buttons remain fitted for removing spent candle stubs. Each candlestick stands 29 cm high, 11 cm wide, and 11 cm deep. These functional items suit domestic placement on a mantelpiece to display tapers in a living room, dining room, or study. The reflective metallic surfaces catch ambient light, adding traditional visual interest to interior mantels or sideboards. Regular dusting with a soft cloth maintains the polished appearance of the metalwork.

FAQs

Victorian brass candlesticks were produced during the 19th century in Britain, characterised by turned baluster stems, ornate central knops, and solid flared bases designed to collect dripping wax.

These items were typically cast in molten brass using multi-part moulds, after which the stem sections were brazed together and lathe-finished to produce refined turned detailing.

Authentic pieces often exhibit visible internal casting seams, threaded rod construction visible from underneath, stamped maker marks or motifs on the base, and moderate surface oxidisation.

Position a matching pair along a mantelpiece or sideboard top to introduce geometric structure, warm metallic tone, and classical symmetry to contemporary room settings.

Melt away excess wax using warm water, avoiding metal tools that scratch the surface, and clean gently with a dedicated brass polish to maintain the metallic luster.
