This pair of Victorian candlesticks dates to 1890 in the English Country House style, formed from solid brass with a polished gold finish. Each tall piece stands on a canted square base, rising through a stepped foot into a banded, ribbed beehive stem, a faceted diamond knop, and a smooth upper section terminating in a flared candle cup. A registered mark appears on the side of the base. They measure 36 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 13 cm deep. Suitable for use in a living room, dining room, or hallway, these candlesticks sit effectively on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table to provide traditional illumination. The reflective metal surface and architectural turned profiles introduce classic Victorian craftsmanship to an interior scheme while remaining functional for everyday lighting.

FAQs

Beehive candlesticks feature distinct ring-turned or ridged knops along the stem, a design motif popularised in Britain during the 19th century.

Most late Victorian candlesticks were cast in solid brass, often finished with turned detailing and bases featuring registration marks or weighted inserts.

Authentic pieces frequently display faint cast seam lines, turned inner sockets, and stamped British Registration numbers or manufacturer marks near the base.

Position them on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard paired with neutral taper candles to introduce warm metallic accents into contemporary schemes.

Remove accumulated wax using warm water, then polish gently with a specialised brass cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth to preserve the surface.
