This pair of late Victorian double-arm candlesticks dates from between 1890 and 1910, originating in an English country house style. Fashioned from solid brass with a polished warm finish, the matching pieces display intricate decorative details visible in the cast construction. Each candlestick features a central turned stem adorned with low-relief acanthus leaf carving above a stepped circular base with gadrooned rims. Two symmetrical scroll arms extend outwards, supporting cylindrical candle holders fitted with drip pans decorated with rope-twist mouldings. The polished metal surfaces show bright golden highlights across the curves and corners. Measuring 16 cm high, 16 cm wide, and 16 cm deep, these sturdy candle holders function as a decorative mantelpiece accent. They suit placement in a traditional living room, dining room, or entrance hall to bring warmth to a domestic interior. The sturdy proportions ensure stable placement on flat surfaces while accommodating standard taper candles for functional illumination.

FAQs

Late Victorian and Edwardian double-arm candlesticks, often termed two-branch candelabra, feature central stems with scrolled side arms designed to hold two candles simultaneously. Influenced by Neoclassical and Classical Revival design, these pieces frequently incorporate gadrooned rims, reeded bases, and relief leaf details.

Antique brass candlesticks were generally cast in solid brass using sand-casting or lost-wax techniques, followed by hand-turning, chasing, and polishing. High quality pieces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries often feature heavy cast bases and threaded central assembly rods.

Authentic period pieces usually display age-appropriate wear, subtle surface variations, or oxidisation in carved recesses. Unscrewing the base often reveals hand-cut threads, square nuts, or rough sand-cast interior surfaces rather than modern uniform machine finishes.

A pair of brass candelabra can be arranged symmetrically as a dining table centrepiece, on a sideboard, or atop a fireplace mantelpiece to provide height and metallic warm contrast against neutral backdrops.

To clean solid brass, wipe away dust with a soft cloth and remove wax buildup using warm water. Specialist metal polish can restore surface shine, though leaving natural patina in carved details helps preserve historical character.
