Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Rough sand-cast texture inside the hollow foot: traditional eighteenth-century founding method.
Turned rim beneath the base: hand-finishing on a lathe to steady the foot.
Softened contours on the knops: gradual rounding from generations of hand polishing.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This pair of 18th-century Queen Anne candlesticks consists of two matching pieces rendered in polished brass with a warm gold colour and a highly reflective, lustrous finish. Each candlestick stands on a multi-faceted hexagonal base, rising through turned baluster stems and knopped columns to terminate in cylindrical nozzles at the top. The smooth, reflective metal surfaces show subtle artisanal turning lines and gentle surface undulations characteristic of early hand-finished cast metalwork, with soft highlights catching the curves of the mouldings and edges. Each piece measures 18 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 10 cm deep. These traditional English country house accessories suit placement on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table to add period character and warm metallic tones to an interior setting.

FAQs

Early 18th-century brass candlesticks typically feature faceted hexagonal or octagonal bases, baluster-turned stems, and simple cylindrical nozzles reflective of Queen Anne and early Georgian design principles.

During this period, brass candlesticks were cast using core or two-part mould techniques, after which the components were joined, hand-finished, and turned on a lathe to refine the knopping and surface detailing.

Authentic period examples often exhibit slight hand-casting irregularities, minor core marks, visible lathe turning marks inside the base, and subtle surface wear around the nozzle and base rim.

Placing a pair of brass candlesticks symmetrically on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard adds reflective metallic warm tones and historical balance to contemporary decor schemes.

To preserve the metal, remove wax build-up by immersing the candlesticks in warm water and gently wiping with a non-abrasive cloth, avoiding aggressive chemical polishes that strip protective surface patination.
