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

Sheffield plated telescopic candlesticks are candle holders manufactured during the George III period using fused silver and copper plate, featuring a sliding mechanism inside the column to adjust the candle height.

These items were made by fusing a layer of sterling silver onto a thicker copper ingot using heat and pressure before rolling the metal into sheets, which were then die-struck, raised, and assembled by hand.

Authentic pieces frequently exhibit copper bleeding where the silver layer has thinned due to polishing, lack modern electroplating hallmarks, and feature raised die-struck borders filled with lead or pewter.

Placing a symmetrical pair of silver candlesticks on a minimalist dining table, mantelpiece, or console table introduces height, classical proportions, and reflective metallic texture to modern schemes.

Clean Sheffield plate gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and mild, non-abrasive silver cream to avoid wearing down the thin fused silver layer and exposing excessive copper.
