This pair of Edwardian candlesticks dates from circa 1910 and takes the form of standing terriers holding slender stems. Each piece presents a cast brass dog standing on its hind legs with glass eyes, grasping the stem within its paws. The warm gold colour of the brass contrasts with the dark timber of the turned wooden bases, which feature concentric mouldings. One dog displays minor verdigris relative to the other, marking age. The dimensions measure 21 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 10 cm deep. Placing these candlesticks upon a mantelpiece or a desk within a gentleman's library adds decorative character to the interior. The design creates a mirror-imaged pair, with the dogs positioned to face opposite directions. The upper section terminates in a sconce socket for holding a candle. The weighted wooden base provides stability while the metal components offer functional utility and sculptural detail.

FAQs

Edwardian novelty animalia candlesticks are decorative candle holders from the early twentieth century featuring cast metal representations of animals, such as dogs, birds, or wildlife, integrated into the structural design.

These pieces were typically cast in solid brass or bronze using sand-casting or lost-wax methods, often mounted on turned hardwood or cast metal bases for stability.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-finishing, subtle casting irregularities, natural surface oxidisation, and age-related wear on the underside of the bases.

Pair them symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, arrange them on a sideboard, or integrate them into a curated bookshelf display alongside leather-bound books.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and avoid abrasive chemical cleaners that strip natural patina; remove wax drips gently using warm water without submerging wooden components.
