This pair of candelabra belongs to the Art Deco style from the 1950 period, fashioned from sterling silver with a bright reflective silver finish. Each piece comprises twin u-shaped branches supporting tulip sconces, rising from a fluted pedestal stem and a circular domed base with decorative rim tooling. Hallmarks are struck on the metal denoting the London assay office and the maker Robert Edgar Stone. Standing at 24 cm high and 25.5 cm wide, the set fits appropriately upon a dining table center or a sideboard as functional tableware. In contemporary interiors, these items function as traditional candle holders for dining rooms, living spaces, or mantelpieces, providing ambient lighting during evening meals or gatherings. The polished metal surface catches domestic illumination, while the balanced dual arms direct light outward from the central axis. Maintenance involves standard silver care to preserve the metallic sheen against natural tarnish over time.

FAQs

Twentieth-century British silver candelabra often combine traditional hand-wrought silversmithing techniques with modern design movements such as Arts and Crafts and Art Deco. Designers of this period emphasized clean architectural lines, stylized fluting, and functional balance rather than heavy Victorian ornamentation.

Hand-wrought silver candelabra are constructed from high-grade sterling silver, formed using manual hammering, raised silversmithing techniques, and precise solder joints. The individual sconces, branches, and bases are hand-shaped and polished to achieve structural integrity and a refined surface finish.

Authentic pieces carry official British assay hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, a date letter, and a registered makers mark. Subtle hand-hammering marks on the interior or underside also distinguish hand-wrought items from cast or machine-stamped silver.

Silver candelabra serve as sophisticated visual anchors when placed at the centre of a modern dining table or styled on a dark wood sideboard. The reflective metallic surface provides contrast against matte textures, plaster walls, or minimalist tableware.

Silver should be cleaned regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and a specialized silver polish formulated to remove oxidisation without scratching. To prevent rapid tarnishing, store silver items in dry conditions wrapped in acid-free tissue or tarnish-resistant cloth bags.
