FAQs

Late 18th-century candlesticks from the Georgian period typically feature classical architectural proportions, often incorporating neoclassical influences such as stepped square bases and simple turned columns.

These items were traditionally cast using bell metal or brass, a copper and tin or zinc alloy, poured into sand or multi-part moulds before being finished on a lathe.

Authenticity is assessed by examining construction marks, such as casting seams, push-up ejector holes in the base, and natural patination or wear consistent with age.

They work well as mantelpiece or dining table accents, adding metallic warmth and historical texture to contemporary or traditional schemes alike.

Maintenance involves dusting with a soft dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical polishes to preserve the aged surface patina and original metal finish.
