These exceptional antique Victorian sterling silver taper candlesticks have a plain classical 18th century English form.
The plain cylindrical capitals are encircled with moulded girdles and bands of tooled decoration and retain the original hallmarked detachable push fit sconces.
The waisted section of each column features a plain rounded quatrefoil shaped knop to the upper and lower portions.
These Victorian taper candlestick columns surmount plain circular sunken wells and are supported by square swept bases accented with incurved corners.
Each taper candle holder does not have a weighted base.
Date: 1893
