Pair of Georgian Brass Eagle Candlesticks

18th century
For Sale by Whites Antiques
Description

Pair of Georgian Brass Eagle Candlesticks

A fine pair of Georgian brass candlesticks featuring eagle supports and circular bases — beautifully detailed and full of period character.

Full Description

A handsome pair of Georgian brass candlesticks, each raised on a circular base with a central baluster stem and eagle motif at the foot. The eagles are finely cast with outstretched wings, supporting spherical knops that lead to the candle holders above.

The brass has developed a warm, mellow patina over time, enhancing the sculptural detail and authenticity of the pair. These candlesticks are both decorative and functional, offering a refined accent to a mantelpiece, dining table, or sideboard.

FAQs

Georgian brass candlesticks typically date from the 18th to early 19th century and feature classical proportioning, cast motifs, and turned central stems. Stylistic elements such as eagle forms, spherical knops, and circular drip pans reflect the neoclassicism of the era.

Period brass candlesticks were generally cast in multiple sections using sand moulds and joined together using a central threaded rod or solder. High copper content in historic brass alloys gives the metal a deep yellow-gold tone.

Authentic period examples often feature visible seam lines, hand-chased surface details, and evidence of hand-finishing on the undersides. Minor irregularities in weight and casting texture between a pair indicate traditional manufacturing methods.

Placing brass candlesticks on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard introduces warm metallic tones and historic texture to modern spaces. They function effectively as classical accents in both traditional and minimalist interior schemes.

Clean brass using a soft cloth with mild soap and warm water to remove surface dust, drying thoroughly afterwards. Avoid harsh chemical polishes or abrasive pads that can remove natural age patination or damage hand-chased details.
