About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive, pair of antique Victorian English cast sterling silver figural candlesticks; an addition of our ornamental silverware collection. These exceptional, fine and impressive antique Victorian English cast sterling silver candlesticks have a circular-shaped form with figural columns. The flared circular capital of each silver candlestick is encircled with a leaf decorated border. The exceptional cast silver columns of the candlestick have been modelled in the form of male and female figure, each holding an elongated fluted support to the aforementioned capital; the matching opposing stance of each candlestick is a fine feature. Each figure bears grape cluster and fruiting vine details to their hair* and are draped in billowing fabric clothing; the female's clothes extend to the ankles, whereas the male's wrap partially covers the anatomy and conjoins to one side of the waist. The columns are supported by a circular waisted platform to a domed circular base encompassed with further leaf decoration to the rim. Victorian silver candle holders make an elegant, timeless gift for weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings or milestone birthdays. Ideal for those who appreciate antique design and period craftsmanship. * Whilst the characters have not been identified, their hair and attire could be associated with an artistic portrayal of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, agriculture and fertility (Roman god named Bacchus) and his wife or his children. Condition These antique figural candle holders are a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The cast decoration is all very sharp. Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each base are all very clear.
