These exceptional, fine and impressive antique Victorian sterling silver candlesticks have a cylindrical form onto a square swept base.
The Corinthian capital of each retains the original hallmarked detachable push fit sconce, ornamented with an applied bead decorated border to the rim.
The capitals are supported by a classic column, encircled with embossed vertical fluted decoration.
The lower portion of each column features a plain circular rounded knop to a swept square base.
The surface of the bases are each ornamented with chased decoration, creating a woven effect.
Each of these impressive sterling silver candle holders have weighted bases and bear green baize coverings to the undersides.

These Victorian candleholders are an elegant gift for weddings, anniversaries or housewarmings, ideal for those who appreciate traditional design. Equally suited to collectors, interior designers or as a refined accent for dining tables or mantels.
