FAQs

Baroque candlesticks feature dynamic forms characterised by scrolling foliate motifs, baluster stems, and floral repousse work. Originating in the 17th century, the style emphasises dramatic movement and elaborate surface decoration.

These items were typically cast or hammered from sterling silver, silver plate, or brass. Craftsmen utilised techniques such as repousse and chasing to create raised, detailed relief patterns across the stem, nozzle, and base.

Authentication involves inspecting the piece for official silver hallmarks, assay marks, or makers marks, usually stamped near the base or rim. Additionally, evidence of historical construction, such as seam lines or hand-chased details, assists in verification.

A Baroque candlestick can be positioned as a focal accent on a sideboard, dining table, or mantelpiece to contrast with minimalist furnishings. Pairing reflective metalwork with neutral hues creates a balanced decorative arrangement.

Maintain silver by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a specialist non-abrasive silver polish to remove oxidisation. Avoid harsh chemical cleansers or abrasive pads that can wear down surface detailing or plating.
