FAQs

Corinthian column candlesticks are candle holders designed in the Neoclassical style, featuring fluted shafts and intricate acanthus leaf capitals modelled after classical Greek and Roman architecture. Popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries, they reflect a revival of classical antiquity in silverware design.

Victorian silver candlesticks were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate over copper or nickel base metals. They often featured weighted bases filled with resin or pitch to ensure stability, along with removable nozzles for easy cleaning of wax residues.

Authentic Victorian silver pieces bear official British hallmarks, including a makers mark, town mark, purity mark, and a date letter. Look for crisp detail in the casting or chasing of the acanthus foliage alongside square stepped bases with beaded or moulded borders.

Place a pair of silver column candlesticks on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard to add height and classical symmetry. Pairing silver objects with dark wood, marble surfaces, or contemporary artwork creates a balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

Dust silver regularly with a soft cotton cloth and clean periodically using a specialised silver polish or cloth to remove tarnish. Avoid submerging weighted candlesticks in water, as moisture can damage internal pitch fillers or loosen structural components.
