Pair of Sterling Silver Desk Candlesticks

1920 - 1940
Description

A good example of a pair of Sterling Silver candlesticks, dating from the early to mid 20th Century. They are a short squat design and were likely made to be used on a desk. They are stylish pieces with a band of floral decoration around the base. They are good quality with weighted bases and they are signed "Prelude International Sterling N212"

They are in good condition for their age. There are some light surface marks and minor signs of age and use but overall they display well. They have been gently cleaned and polished and are ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

FAQs

Desk candlesticks are short silver candle holders designed specifically for writing tables and desks, providing localised illumination without obstructing the line of sight.

These pieces are typically forged from sterling silver containing 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural strength, often featuring weighted bases filled with pitch or resin for stability.

Authentic British sterling silver features official assay hallmarks stamped into the metal, including a lion passant mark, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Position a pair on an office desk, sideboard, or fireplace mantel alongside leather desk accessories and books to add metallic contrast and classic proportion.

Gently polish the surface using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver foam, avoiding abrasive cleansers or harsh chemicals that can strip delicate chased detailing or oxidisation.
