Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Cast cloven hoof feet: naturalistic modelling typical of late Victorian novelty plate.
Detachable nozzles with finely milled rims: standard construction for dining table lighting.
Darkened polish residue settled in the chased details: evidence of long handling.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This pair of Victorian silver-plated candlesticks originates from around 1880, bringing a decorative element to traditional or classic interiors. Each piece displays a sculptural, baroque-inspired profile crafted in a silver colour with a reflective finish, showing light surface wear consistent with age and gentle use. The design incorporates fluted candle sconces at the top, a slender stem with detailed floral relief work, and an ornate tripod base. The lower section features flowing scroll contours, raised ivy leaves, and distinct feet shaped like cloven animal hooves. Measuring 11.5 cm in height and 8 cm in width, these candlesticks offer compact proportions suitable for various settings. They sit securely on flat surfaces and work well for display on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or festive dining table to hold taper candles and add a traditional accent to a room today.

FAQs

Victorian figural silver-plated candlesticks feature sculptural elements inspired by classical mythology, nature, and historic revivals. Produced primarily during the late nineteenth century, these pieces combine functional candle sockets with elaborate decorative bases incorporating naturalistic or animal forms.

Most nineteenth-century silver plate was constructed using electroplating (EPNS), where a thin coating of pure silver was electrochemically deposited onto a base metal, typically nickel silver or brass. The structural components were cast in sections and soldered together before plating.

Authentic pieces often bear manufacturer stamps, electroplate trade marks such as EPNS, or Victorian registration marks. Natural age visible on authentic silver plate includes gentle wear to high points where the underlying base metal may show, alongside crisp details from original casting moulds.

Place silver-plated candlesticks on a dining table, sideboard, or mantelpiece to introduce metallic contrast against modern backdrops. Pairing traditional silver metalwork with dark timber, matte ceramics, or natural linen creates a balanced juxtaposition between historic design and modern interiors.

Clean silver plate using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish formulated for plated metal to avoid removing the delicate silver layer. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and store away from damp conditions to prevent excess tarnish and oxidisation.
