Original from 1874
Description
The handwritten tag reads:
“Pair of Victorian Hallmarked Silver Candle Sticks”
* Type: Pair of three-light candelabra
* Style: High Victorian / Rococo Revival
* Material: Hallmarked silver (assuming the hallmarks confirm sterling)
* Finish: Polished silver
* Design:
* Central candle socket with two scrolling arms
* Rich acanthus leaf decoration
* Knopped baluster stem
* Heavy circular decorated base
* Detachable branches (typical of quality Victorian candelabra)
* Approximate height: 45–50 cm (18–20 in)
* Approximate width: 40–45 cm
Approximate Weight
Judging from their size:
* Each candelabrum: approximately 1.8–2.5 kg
* Pair: approximately 3.6–5.0 kg
Important
Victorian silver candelabra are very often weighted inside the base with pitch, plaster, cement, or another heavy filler to improve stability. The silver itself is formed as a shell around this weighted core. This was standard practice and does not reduce their desirability as antiques.
The ornate Rococo Revival decoration, combined with the hallmarks, is consistent with a Victorian or early Edwardian British pair, roughly 1860–1905.
Origin year said by the antiquarian seller when I purchased was 1874
Needs to be check one as will requires some metals glue to reinforce it
