What is a chamberstick?

A chamberstick is a low candle holder featuring a small handle and a wide drip pan designed to catch melting wax. People carried them through dark hallways before electric lighting became common. These compact holders often include a small cone snuffer resting in the tray. They sit well on bedside tables and desks.

How do I clean silver plate?

Clean silver plate gently using a soft cloth and a specialised silver polish formulated to protect thin metal layers. Avoid harsh scrubbing that can wear away the silver plating. Regular dusting helps maintain the shine without requiring frequent polishing. Store pieces in dry conditions to slow down tarnishing.

How do I identify sterling silver?

Look for official hallmarks stamped into the metal surface, which typically include a lion passant or standard purity figures indicating silver content. Sterling silver carries a distinct weight and cool feel compared to plated base metals. Unmarked pieces often turn out to be silver plate or alternative metals like pewter and brass. Assay office marks also reveal the town where the piece was tested.
