Tom Scott Antiques has dated this piece to the 1900s.

Unusual to have this pair in a silver plate and of these proportions.
If you were to use these as candle sticks, they work by heating the base of a large church candle and with pressure, fitting it onto the pricket.

Great decorative pair and would sit very well on a console or sideboard, or perhaps flanking an open fireplace for example.
Measuring:
30 3/4” or 78cm high
8 1/2” or 22cm across the base
1 1/2” or 3cm pricket spike
