Antique English Silverplate Candelabra Pair

With a palatial presence that is guaranteed to command attention wherever they make an appearance, we were thrilled to spy this Antique English Silverplate Candelabra Pair at auction in the north of England. Expertly crafted from exquisite silver, every inch of these slender masterpieces is a true work of art. Three arms, each with a sumptuous sconce gracefully extend to create an imposing and substantial silhouette. Removable for easy cleaning, transport or storage, the highly decorated arms fit solidly into the base. 

As if suspended in air, the upper removable sconce holders with their dramatic scrolling metalwork rise towards a central finial, reminiscent of a delicate flame. A geometric zig zag pattern cradling the sconce cup and an incorporated pedestal to catch pesky drips are stylishly incorporated into the grand design. The true stars of the elegant columns - a stately yet whimsical trio of darling owls suspended above prominent claw feet. With a tricorne shaped plinth base that offers support and shine, these fairy tale candlestick holders are sure to elevate any setting.

Produced in Sheffield by the fine silversmiths at James Dixon & Sons, the pair boasts a clear understamp with the firm's mark. Whether welcoming guests in the entry, anchoring the mantel, set at table within a centerpiece display or assuming a starring role in your silver collection, this impressive and resplendent pair is sure to take pride of place as a majestic addition to your home.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In good antique condition with a lovely patina of base metal gleaned from areas of plating loss.  22"H x 10.5"W.
