This pair of Victorian candlesticks, made by Frederick J Smith & Co, dates from around 1900. Crafted in the English Country House style, they are formed from solid brass with a polished, unlacquered gold-coloured finish. Each piece comprises a square base with chamfered edges and a stepped profile, supporting a slender turned baluster column with multiple heavy ring mouldings, a flared capital, and a small socket. The maker's trademark stamp sits underneath the base of each stick, reflecting their origin in Birmingham from an enterprise established in 1858. Measuring 28 cm high by 10 cm wide by 10 cm deep, these objects stand upright on a flat surface. They suit placement on a traditional mantelpiece or a dining table to provide ambient lighting in a living space or hallway.

FAQs

Late Victorian and Edwardian brass candlesticks typically feature cast or turned brass construction with baluster-shaped columns, nozzle capitals, and solid square, circular, or octagonal bases.

These items were cast using copper and zinc alloys in sand moulds, after which the components were turned on a lathe, polished, and assembled using internal threaded iron rods.

Authentic pieces often display subtle seam lines from historical casting, thread pitch on internal fixing rods, maker stamps on the underside of the base, and minor manual lathe marks.

A pair of polished brass candlesticks can be arranged on a mantelpiece, dining table, or sideboard to introduce reflective metallic accents and classical proportions to contemporary spaces.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and remove wax build-up by flushing with warm water. Polishing with a specialized metal cleaner maintains a bright finish, while unpolished brass will develop a natural patina over time.
