How Much are Indian Silver Candlesticks?
Finding the Right Candlesticks for You
Vintage, new and antique candlesticks and candleholders do not simply infuse a dining room with a soft, warm glow. They also add dimension, conjure drama and draw attention to a table or mantel. Despite their practical origins, today, decorative candlesticks and their holders elevate spaces by matching interiors or adding color and bold shapes.
For those who enjoy the rich pageantry of the Old Masters, candlesticks in the Baroque and Rococo styles offer intricacy and opulence. The design of Baroque candlesticks — thanks to the influence of the Catholic Church — often boasted complex shapes and featured biblical figures. While bronze candlestick holders have a long history dating back to the ancient world, many 17th-century candlesticks were made of luxurious silver. Armed with a disposable income and a desire to show off their status, the newly emerging middle class acquired candlestick holders as intricate art pieces, beautiful and opulent in their own right.
The Art Deco movement of the early 20th century saw candlesticks designed with simplicity and symmetry in mind. Art Deco candlesticks boast all manner of forms, ranging from sleek curves to bodies of ribbed crystal or bronze that take the shape of animals.
While some 20th-century-era candlesticks are akin to statues in their grandeur, these decorative items became especially fashionable in the mid-20th century for atmospherically illuminating dinner tables. Mid-century modern candlesticks frequently epitomize the streamlined functionality that we’ve come to associate with the era.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell if a candlestick is silver, first look for metal purity hallmarks often positioned on the bottom of the piece. Silver purity markings vary from country to country, and you can find reference guides on trusted online resources that can help you determine what the hallmark on your piece represents. Researching the maker can also be beneficial. If you find that the company or artisan only produced silver wares, you can feel reasonably sure that your candlestick is silver. Another option is to place a magnet near the candlestick. Silver isn't magnetic, so a candlestick that sticks to a magnet is either silver-plated or crafted from an entirely different material. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer evaluate your candlestick to determine its material. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of silver candlesticks.
- How do I identify Indian silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To identify Indian silver, use the services of a licensed appraiser. Many convincing reproductions of Indian silver pieces exist, making it difficult to successfully authenticate pieces on your own. On 1stDibs, find a selection of expertly vetted Indian silver furniture, decorative objects and jewelry.
- Is Indian silver hallmarked?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022India introduced hallmark licenses for vendors selling silver artifacts and jewelry in 2005. The stamp should have an oval shape, which indicates that it is made out of silver. A rectangular shape stamp indicates that your item is gold. You’ll find a variety of expertly vetted Indian silver products from some of the top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.
