This pair of George V sterling silver candlesticks dates from the 1910 period and exhibits a Neo-Classical Revival style with a grand Regency design vibe. The items possess a metallic silver finish and feature square bases with gadrooned borders, acanthus leaves, and urn motifs. Rising from the bases are fluted shafts terminating in detailed Corinthian capitals beneath sconces with matching hallmarks for Sheffield 1917 and silversmiths marks for Thomas Bradbury & Sons. The candlesticks measure 26 cm high by 11 cm wide by 11 cm deep, with a combined weight of 1.7 kg and weighted bases lined with green felt underneath. These table accessories find their ideal home as a dining table center, enhancing a formal dining room setting with traditional silver elegance. They work effectively placed upon a sideboard, a mantelpiece, or a console table in a living room, study, or hallway. The polished metallic surface reflects ambient light during evening meals or gatherings, while the classical columns and decorative bases provide visual interest in both traditional and transitional interior schemes. Protection for delicate surfaces comes from the underside felt lining, allowing placement on fine wood furniture without risk of scratching.

FAQs

Corinthian column candlesticks draw design inspiration from classical Greek architecture, featuring fluted pillars and acanthus leaf capitals. The design became prominent in English silver during the Neo-Classical movement of the late eighteenth century and experienced significant revivals in the Edwardian and George V eras.

Candlesticks from this period were crafted using sterling silver, hallmarked to verify purity at 925 parts per thousand. To provide stability for structural columns, silversmiths filled the hollow silver bases with pitch, resin, or lead weights.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces feature a series of official hallmarks, including the makers mark, town mark, lion passant for purity, and a date letter. Weight distribution, crisp detail in cast capitals, and specific seam construction also distinguish period examples from reproductions.

These lighting fixtures are arranged as table centrepieces on dining tables or displayed symmetrically on sideboards and mantelpieces. Pairing silver with dark hardwoods, natural linen runners, or contrasting modern tableware adds architectural structure to contemporary spaces.

Silver should be cleaned gently using specialised non-abrasive silver polishes and soft cotton cloths to prevent surface scratching. Storage in tarnish-inhibiting cloth bags reduces oxidisation and minimises the frequency of polishing required.
