Antique Victorian Large Silver Plated Five Branch Candelabra Dining Table Centrepiece with Detachable Sconces

19th century
Description

A large and impressive antique Victorian silver plated five branch candelabra of superb decorative quality, ideal as a striking dining table centrepiece.

The candelabra stands on a beautifully shaped base with richly cast scrolling decoration, rising to a tall tapering central column which supports four elegant sweeping branches together with a central candle socket forming a five light arrangement. Each arm is finely modelled with decorative mounts and scrolling detail typical of high quality Victorian silver plate.

A particularly desirable feature is that the branches and sconces are fully detachable. This allows the piece to be used either as a grand five branch candelabra or converted into individual candlesticks, making it both decorative and highly versatile.

The elegant proportions, elaborate casting and impressive scale make this a wonderful statement piece for a dining table, sideboard or centrepiece display. Pieces of this size and presence are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

During the Victorian era, multi-branched candelabras served as primary dining table lighting and decorative centrepieces. The commercial development of electroplating in the mid-nineteenth century allowed detailed silver designs to be produced efficiently for domestic use.

These lighting fixtures were typically constructed using nickel silver, copper, or brass as a base metal, which was subsequently electroplated with a layer of pure silver. Features such as branches and sconces were cast and finished with scroll or foliate moulding.

Authentic pieces often bear electroplate makers marks or stamps such as EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver). Visible wear where the base metal shows through elevated points, known as bleeding, also indicates genuine age and electroplated construction.

Position the candelabra centrally on a formal dining table or place it atop a sideboard framed by neutral wall paneling. Pairing the metallic silver finish with simple linen table runners creates a balanced contrast between traditional metalwork and modern textiles.

Clean silver plate using a specialized silver polish applied with a soft, lint-free cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that strip the thin silver layer. To remove excess wax, pour hot water over the detachable sconces rather than scraping the surface.
