About the Item

Titled "Cidade" due to its futuristic cityscape design, commissioned by renowned antiques firm Mallett for their contemporary Meta Collection and conceived and created by the design duo Barber and Osgerby, responsible, among other items, for the London 2012 Olympic torch, this candle laden ‘Surtout de Table’ is reminiscent of the tradition of the 18th century favoured by Louis XIV, where silver candlesticks were used in number on a polished silver base to multiply the candlelight. Made circa 2009 this remarkable, Gold Plated, Britannia standard silver centrepiece, comprises of seven candlesticks on a rectangular curved corner base, which measures 19 inches x 12 inches (48cm x 30.5cm), and weighs an impressive 259 troy oz in total. The item is not hallmarked but we possess documentation verifying the authenticity of the silver content (958 standard silver).

Rockets shooting for the Moon, space stations orbiting Earth and other celestial bodies, chimps dancing around a black monolith... the Sixties and Seventies were embued with an idealized (and sometimes rather odd) vision of the future which, all in all, didn't prove quite as right as one could've hoped. We still have no flying cars, don't commute to the moon on a regular basis, nor we've ever been further away than our lower orbit since the last Apollo mission...
