FAQs

Silver candlesticks have been used for centuries for domestic lighting and formal dining, evolving in design from simple Elizabethan baluster shapes to ornate Georgian and Victorian styles.

Traditional candlesticks are crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring weighted bases filled with resin, plaster, or wood to provide stability for tall tapers.

Authenticity is determined by examining makers marks, hallmarks, natural tarnish patterns, construction seams, and wear consistent with age.

Silver candlesticks add reflective metallic texture when placed on dining tables, mantelpieces, or sideboards, pairing well with both contemporary and traditional decor schemes.

Preservation requires regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional polishing with a specialised silver cleaner, avoiding harsh abrasives that can wear down thin plating.
