FAQs

Georgian silver candlesticks from the mid-18th century feature cast construction, baluster-shaped stems, and rococo-influenced motifs such as scalloped edges and shell mouldings on the bases and nozzles.

Cast silver candlesticks were made by pouring molten sterling silver into multi-piece sand moulds. The individual sections, including the base, stem, and nozzle, were then hand-chased and soldered together before polishing.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarks stamped on the base rim or nozzle socket, including the makers mark, lion passant (sterling quality), town mark, and date letter. They are also significantly heavier than later sheet silver or electroplated alternatives.

Antique silver candlesticks can be arranged in symmetrical groupings on a sideboard, styled along the centre of a dining table, or paired with contemporary ceramics on a mantelpiece to create visual contrast.

Clean sterling silver using a specialized, non-abrasive silver polish applied with a soft microfibre cloth, washing away residual polish with warm water and mild soap. Avoid silver dip solutions, which remove natural tarnish from decorative recesses.
