This large pair of Victorian Sheffield plated candlesticks dates from 1880, bringing traditional English country house style to any interior. The set consists of two ornate candlesticks featuring gleaming silver-plated metal with warm copper bleed showing through the finish on the tapered columns and shaped bases. Each piece includes a detachable nozzle at the top, a slender tapering column, a decorative knopped stem section, and a raised square base decorated with heavily embossed foliate scrollwork. The visual details show rich relief ornamentation, rounded capital rims, and subtle colour contrast between the silver plating and the exposed copper underneath. Measuring 31 cm high, 13.5 cm wide, and 13.5 cm deep, these substantial items work well in a dining room setting. They make a striking addition as a dining table centrepiece or placed upon a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to provide atmospheric lighting and traditional decorative charm for formal dinners or daily home display.

FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a historical process invented in the 18th century where a layer of sterling silver was fused onto copper before being rolled into sheets and fashioned into decorative domestic objects.

These items were manufactured using copper sheets fused with thin silver, featuring die-stamped or cast foliate mounts, knopped central shafts, and weighted bases filled with pitch or resin for stability.

Authentic pieces frequently display copper visible through worn silver areasknown as copper bleedalong with period die-struck makers marks or symbols near the base or sconce rim.

A pair can be arranged at the centre of a formal dining table, along a sideboard top, or flanking a mantelpiece mirror to introduce metallic texture and historic contrast into a contemporary room.

Clean gently with a soft cotton cloth and a mild silver polish formulated specifically for plated metal, avoiding heavy pressure over areas with exposed copper to protect the surrounding silver layer.
