FAQs

Popularised during the Georgian and Regency periods, telescopic candlesticks feature an adjustable friction mechanism within the central column, allowing the height of the light source to be raised or lowered.

Early examples were typically crafted using Old Sheffield Plate, involving fused sheet copper and silver, or later electroplating over base metal, weighted at the base with iron or resin for stability.

Authentic period pieces often display subtle copper bleed-through along high points of wear, weighted bases, die-struck embossed scrollwork, and original mechanical friction collars.

Positioning a pair along a dining table centrepiece or atop a fireplace mantelpiece adds vertical structure, classical symmetry, and metal light reflection to contemporary rooms.

Clean using a soft cotton cloth with specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh abrasive chemicals or water immersion to protect the underlying plating and weighted base filling.
