Pair of Silver-Plated Candlesticks – Corinthian Column Design – Late 19th Century - Sheffield In excellent condition – No reserve A refined and highly decorative pair of late 19th-century silver-plated candlesticks, executed in an elegant Corinthian column form, directly inspired by classical antiquity and widely favored during the Victorian period. The design features richly detailed capitals with acanthus leaf ornamentation, spiral-fluted shafts, and stepped square bases with beaded borders. The proportions are particularly well balanced, giving these candlesticks a strong architectural presence despite their compact yet substantial size. The underside bears a series of stamped hallmarks, including a crowned device, typical of high-quality Sheffield silver plate production of the late 19th century. While unmarked for a specific maker, the craftsmanship, weight, and finishing clearly place these pieces among the better-quality output of established Sheffield workshops of the period. Produced during a time when neoclassical design dominated interior decoration, these candlesticks reflect the Victorian fascination with Greco-Roman architecture, symmetry, and refined ornamentation. Today, such examples are increasingly sought-after for their decorative versatility and timeless appeal. Condition In excellent condition considering age.
