This pair of antique candlesticks dates from 1900 and exemplifies a grand Neoclassical style inspired by classical architecture. Fabricated in silver-plated metal with a reflective silver colour, the pair incorporates removable shaped sconces at the top, circular reeded columns with ornate Corinthian capitals featuring acanthus leaf motifs, and square-shaped stepped bases decorated with repeating leaf mouldings around the bottom edge. Visible details include crisp metal casting work along the fluted shafts and decorative borders, polished metallic finishes, and clean structural proportions. Each candlestick measures 31 cm high, 12 cm wide, and 12 cm deep. These traditional table accessories work well when displayed together on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table to add formal lighting and decorative presence to a traditional interior.

FAQs

Corinthian column candlesticks are decorative candle holders designed in the classical architectural style, featuring fluted shafts and capitals decorated with acanthus leaves. They became prominent during the Neoclassical movement in the late eighteenth century and remained popular throughout the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

These items typically feature a base metal core, such as copper or nickel brass, coated in a layer of fine silver through electroplating or fused plate processes. The detailed capitals and stepped bases are cast separately before being attached to the fluted central column.

Authentic pieces often display makers marks or electroplate stamps, such as EPNS, stamped near the rim or lower base. Look for details such as weighted bases lined with green baize fabric, crisp chasing on the leaf capitals, and subtle signs of wear where the underlying base metal shows through.

Position the pair symmetrically on a dining table centrepiece, a fireplace mantelpiece, or a hallway sideboard to add vertical structure and classical proportion. Pair them with neutral tapered candles to complement both contemporary minimal backgrounds and traditional decor.

Clean silver plate gently using a soft cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish to avoid removing the outer silver layer. Remove melted candle wax by soaking the affected area in warm water rather than scraping with sharp utensils that could scratch the surface.
