FAQs

Georgian silver candlesticks from the mid-18th century often feature Rococo design elements, including baluster stems, shell-cast decoration, and stepped bases. Cast from solid sterling silver, they were created to hold wax tapers and reflect candlelight during evening dining.

Silver candlesticks of this era were typically produced using sand-casting or lost-wax casting methods for the stem and base, followed by hand-chasing and finishing. Components were joined with silver solder, and removable sconces were added to catch molten wax.

Authentic British pieces carry official hallmark impressions including the lion passant for sterling purity, the town mark (such as the leopards head for London), a date letter, and a registered makers mark.

Arrange silver candlesticks along a dining table, on a marble mantelpiece, or atop a sideboard to contrast against modern textured surfaces or minimalist decor.

Clean silver gently with a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cotton cloth to remove tarnish without stripping the natural patina. Store pieces in anti-tarnish cloth bags away from direct humidity to minimise oxidisation.
