A classical Neoclassical style sterling silver candlestick, beautifully crafted in the form of a fluted Corinthian column with an ornate acanthus leaf capital and a stepped, beaded square base. The piece features full British hallmarks stamped near the base—including the Lion Passant guaranteeing sterling purity, the Birmingham Assay Office anchor, and a date letter 'e' (circa late 19th to early 20th century). The Corinthian column motif gained immense popularity during the 18th-century Neoclassical revival and remained a staple of fine English silversmithing through the Victorian and Edwardian eras.This elegant piece stands 20.5cm (h) tall and features a weighted construction for stability, bringing its total weight to 420 grams. Showing a rich natural vintage patina that highlights the fine decorative detail along the column and base, it presents a stately addition to any antique silver collection or dining display.
