The silver is fully hallmarked for London 1957 by maker Geoffrey Guy Bellamy. It measures 10.6 cm long by 7 cm wide by 6 cm tall, and holds a thin candle approximately 1 cm across. In a contemporary home, this small decorative candle holder is suited for display on a sideboard top to hold a thin taper candle. The compact item works well as a decorative tabletop accessory in a living room, dining room, or entrance hall, adding a mid-century accent to surface displays.

FAQs

During the mid-20th century, silversmiths reimagined traditional functional chambersticks using organic, streamlined forms influenced by Scandinavian Modern design principles.

These items were predominantly wrought from solid sterling silver (925 purity) using techniques such as hand-raising, soldering, and applying decorative cast beadwork.

Authentic items feature official British hallmarks stamped into the metal, including the makers mark, assay office mark, lion passant quality mark, and specific date letter.

Position the piece on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or bedside table alongside modern ceramics or books to create a contrast of materials.

Wipe regularly with a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth and wash gently in warm water with mild detergent to clear residual wax without scratching the metal.
