Hawksworth, Eyre & Co

The mark H E & Co on a silver plate most frequently belongs to Hawksworth, Eyre & Co, a prominent British silversmith and electroplate manufacturer established in Sheffield in 1833. History & Identification Origins: The company was founded by Charles Hawksworth and John Eyre. They were well known for their high-quality Victorian and Edwardian electroplate, flatware, and hollowware. Hallmarks: They registered marks at the Sheffield and London Assay Offices. Their primary silverplate mark was often "HE & Co" (often framed within a quatrefoil or shaped shield). Timeline: The partnership was dissolved in 1869, but continued under the same name. They went into liquidation in the 1930s, and their dies were purchased by Ellis & Co

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1870s:
Stamped maker's mark HE&Co on the base rim: Hawksworth, Eyre & Co of Sheffield.
Octagonal stepped bases with beaded rims: Neoclassical revival design from the 1870s onwards.
Tapered fluted stems and urn-form sconces: classic late Victorian dining table silver.
Softening of the fine beadwork around high points: gentle wear from decades of polishing.

A pair of Victorian silver-plated four-light candelabra produced by Hawksworth, Eyre & Co around 1870. The design draws on Neo-Classical and Empire styles, executed in a bright silver finish. Each piece stands on an octagonal stepped base rising to a tapered fluted stem with three curved reeded arms that support matching sockets, alongside a central fourth light and dismountable nozzles. The metalwork shows crisp fluting, decorative cast mouldings, and maker hallmarks stamped on the bases. These candelabra measure 45 cm high, 27 cm wide, and 27 cm deep. They function as a striking table centrepiece for a formal dining table, sideboard, or mantelpiece in a traditional dining room or living space, bringing period presence to a table setting.

Nineteenth-century silver-plated candelabra often feature Classical Revival motifs, including fluted column stems, reeded scroll arms, and geometric or faceted stepped bases.

These items were typically constructed using electroplating methods, depositing a thin layer of fine silver onto a sturdy base metal core such as nickel silver or copper.

Authentic pieces usually display makers marks or stamps such as EPNS, possess weighted bases for stability, feature detachable nozzles, and show minor wear revealing the underlying base metal on raised points.

Place a pair symmetrically along a formal dining table, atop a sideboard, or over a mantelpiece to introduce vertical scale, balance, and metallic surface reflection.

Polish gently using a specialized non-abrasive silver foam or cream with a soft cotton cloth to remove oxidisation without wearing through the silver plating.
