Candelabrum (2) - Bronze, Silver, Silverplated - Silver-plated candelabra

These ornate three-light candelabra date from the late 19th century during the Victorian era, when elaborate silver and silver-plated tableware was highly fashionable among the upper and aspiring middle classes. The pieces feature the characteristic rococo-revival styling with scrolling arms, floral motifs, and ornate detailing typical of the period. The base is made of bronze and covered with silver, with some areas, such as the upper section, being solid silver. The candelabra present the typical discoloration of aged silver, which can be removed with proper silver cleaning methods. Relevant material tests have been conducted to confirm their composition. Such candelabra were prized centerpieces for formal dining tables and sideboards, symbolizing wealth and social status. They remain highly sought after by collectors of Victorian silver, interior designers seeking authentic period pieces, and enthusiasts of formal dining accessories who appreciate both their decorative appeal and functional elegance.
