This solid sterling silver Edwardian chamberstick takes the form of a flat figurative silhouette holding a candle sconce. Created by silversmiths Saunders and Shepherd and hallmarked for Chester 1905, the piece depicts a young girl with plaits, a bow, a hat and a doll, while her fanning belt forms the handle. The silver object features crisp hand engraving, a circular base, and a raised sconce, with some minor bending and squashing to the actual candle holder. The item measures 5 cm high, 5 cm wide and 4.5 cm deep. Ideal for domestic display, this decorative accessory suits placement on a bedside table in a bedroom within an English Country House style interior. The polished silver finish reflects light effectively when placed on a nightstand or dressing table, offering both decorative charm and practical utility for holding a small taper candle. The compact silhouette fits easily on smaller surfaces without crowding other bedside essentials.

FAQs

A silver chamberstick from the Edwardian period (19011910) is a low-profile portable candle holder featuring a tray or dish base, a candle sconce, and often a handle or decorative figure, originally designed for lighting room-to-room transit.

These pieces were typically made from solid sterling silver or silver electroplate, employing techniques such as sheet cutting, hand engraving, soldering, and casting to produce structural and decorative elements.

Authentic British silver items feature official hallmarks indicating the metal standard, assay office town mark, makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the 19011910 period.

A small silver chamberstick functions as a decorative accent when placed on a bedside table, mantelpiece, or desk surface, providing a metallic focal point among contemporary objects.

Silver should be dusted regularly with a microfibre cloth and periodically cleaned using a non-abrasive silver polish to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dipped solutions that can strip natural patination.
