About the Item
This exquisite pair of mid-19th century Victorian candlesticks, crafted in Britain using the distinguished Sheffield Plate technique. These substantial pieces are a testament to the opulent decorative arts popular during the era of Queen Victoria.
Each candlestick features a beautifully ornate design, characterized by an intricately detailed base adorned with sweeping rococo-inspired scrolls and shell motifs. The fluted and shaped columns rise elegantly, leading to a scalloped bobèche, designed to catch dripping wax and further enhance the visual appeal. The rich, antique silver plate finish, with its subtle patina, highlights every delicate curve and flourish of the casting.
Sheffield Plate, a precursor to modern electroplating, involves fusing sheets of silver onto copper, resulting in a durable and lustrous finish that mimics solid silver at a fraction of the cost. These candlesticks exemplify the high quality and artistry achieved with this method.
Perfect for gracing a mantelpiece, dining table, or console, this pair will infuse any interior with historical charm and a touch of refined elegance. They are not merely functional items, but decorative masterpieces, ideal for collectors of antique silver or those seeking to add authentic Victorian splendor to their home.
Good antique condition. As true vintage items, they show signs of age and use consistent with their history, including a beautiful aged patina, and some minor wear to the silver plating which is typical for Sheffield Plate of this age
