About the Item

A striking blend of contemporary elegance and marine-inspired design, this pair of sterling silver candlesticks was crafted in 1998 by Maxwell, Aylwin & Co. Each piece is supported by a trio of sculptural dolphins, gracefully arching upward to cradle the candle holder—a modern interpretation of classical marine motifs. Rendered in highly polished sterling silver, these candlesticks exude both artistry and sophistication. The rounded bases offer a clean, architectural foundation, perfectly balancing the dynamic dolphin forms. This eye-catching design makes them equally suitable for formal dining, coastal interiors, or curated silver collections. Fully hallmarked for London, 1998, and stamped with the maker’s mark of Maxwell, Aylwin & Co, this pair exemplifies quality British silversmithing at the turn of the 21st century. An exceptional conversation piece, these candlesticks are ideal for collectors of modern silver, ocean-themed décor, or distinctive table accessories. Each candlestick measures 5"(13cm) tall, by 3.75"(9.5cm) in diameter, and together they weigh 20.25 troy ounces.
