Unusual Antique Novelty English Table Lighter in Silver Plate by Elkington

19th century
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

A most unusual and highly collectible table lighter in silver plate. The central light is in the form of a castle turret and either side, towers.

The central light would have been filled with fuel and the wick lit. The two towers have a lid that removes each with a long "spill", the ends would be wrapped in a fuel soaked smaller wick and lit from the central flame.

The underside has a full mark with the makers for the most famous of English silver plate makers, Elkington and Co., together with the date letter for the year, 1869. The handle is lucky enough to retain the original regal monogram within a typically Victorian cartouche in the form of a belt and buckle. A wonderful piece in excellent condition. 6 3/4" x 5 1/4" deep inc. handle x 4 1/2" tall.

FAQs

Table lighters emerged during the nineteenth century as functional desktop accessories designed to light cigars and pipes in domestic and social settings. Manufacturers produced novelty silver-plated designs featuring intricate architectural and geometric motifs to appeal to the Victorian market.

These items were typically constructed from electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or sterling silver, fitted with internal brass reservoirs, removable caps, and cotton wicks designed for liquid fuel.

Authentic pieces generally feature stamped maker marks such as Elkington & Co., accompanied by date letters, pattern numbers, or electroplating symbols stamped into the base or underside of the frame.

A silver table lighter functions well as a decorative accent on an office desk, coffee table tray, or mantelpiece alongside leather-bound books and brass accessories.

Clean silver plate using a soft, non-abrasive cloth and dedicated silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals or dipping solutions that can strip thin electroplated layers.
