The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

George III silver candlesticks from the late 18th century frequently reflect Neoclassical design principles, featuring slender tapered shafts, urn-shaped sconces, and stepped circular bases inspired by Greco-Roman architecture.

Silversmiths of this era typically raised candlesticks from sterling silver sheet metal or cast them in components prior to soldering, often weighting the bases with pitch or resin to ensure stability.

Authentic items feature official British hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling purity, a monarch head duty mark, a date letter, and a silversmith makers mark stamped on the base rim or sconce.

Positioning a pair of silver candlesticks along a dining table centrepiece or atop a mantelpiece creates a refined focal point, complementing both traditional timber surfaces and contemporary decor.

Apply a mild, specialised silver polish using a soft cotton cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive materials, and melt away stubborn wax deposits using warm water rather than scraping.
