Pair of Early 20th Century French Silver-Plated Candlesticks – Classical Turned Design This decorative pair of French silver-plated candlesticks dates from the early 20th century and reflects the timeless elegance of traditional European tableware. With their tall proportions and refined silhouettes, they make attractive decorative accents for a dining table, sideboard, or mantelpiece. Made in France, these candlesticks are crafted in silver-plated metal. One example bears a partially legible mark including the number “20” and traces of the inscription “PLA”, consistent with French silver-plated wares indicating a quality silver plating rather than solid silver. The second candlestick is unmarked, resulting in a deliberately mismatched pair, a detail often appreciated by collectors for its authenticity and character. Visually, both candlesticks feature a classical turned stem with rounded baluster elements and a wide, stepped circular base that provides stability. The surfaces display a naturally aged patina with visible wear, light scratches, and small deformations in keeping with their age. One candlestick stands slightly tilted, adding to the charm and originality of the set. Dimensions are as follows: height approximately 27.5 cm (10.83 in) for the first candlestick and 28 cm (11.02 in) for the second. The base diameters measure approximately 12.8 cm (5.04 in) and 12.2 cm (4.80 in) respectively. Condition is consistent with age and use. These silver-plated candlesticks are well suited for collectors of antique decorative objects or for those seeking elegant period pieces with genuine early 20th century French character.
