This pair of Regency period Old Sheffield plate candlesticks originates from England, dating to circa 1820. The silver-plated pieces present bright silver tones accented by gentle wear that reveals the copper base beneath, complemented by a light aged patina. Ornate chased detail adorns the rim, collar, and base, alongside gadrooned borders, tapered columns, removable nozzles, and circular bases. Each candlestick stands 28 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 13 cm deep, and incorporates a serial number and an artist's guild mark within one nozzle, while protective brown leather cushions dress the base. Positioned on a mantelpiece, this pair provides a refined accent for domestic interiors. The traditional design suits formal dining rooms or living spaces, where the candlesticks bring period character to a tabletop or sideboard display. The removable nozzles allow for practical daily use and straightforward cleaning, while the weathered finish integrates easily into traditional and eclectic antique settings alike.

FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate was invented by Thomas Boulsover in 1742 and involves fusing a layer of sterling silver onto a copper ingot before rolling it into sheets. This technique provided a lower-cost alternative to solid silver tableware until the commercial development of electroplating in the 1840s.

Regency candlesticks were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, fused silver plate on copper, brass, or bronze. The interior of the base was often weighted with pitch or resin to ensure stability on surface settings.

Authentic pieces frequently exhibit copper showing through areas of heavy surface wear, known as bleeding. Look for seam lines on tubular shapes, turned-over silver wire edges concealing raw copper borders, and die-stamped decorative elements rather than hand-chased motifs.

Place candlesticks in pairs along a dining table centrepiece, style them symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, or position them on a sideboard atop a stack of design books to contrast historic metalwork with contemporary furnishings.

Clean gently using a non-abrasive silver foam or polish applied with a soft microfibre cloth, taking care not to rub aggressively over high points where the silver layer is thin. Avoid harsh chemical dips and dry thoroughly to prevent moisture damage to weighted interiors.
