Pair of Antique Georgian English Push-Up Brass Candlesticks
Pair of Antique Georgian English Push-Up Brass Candlesticks
A handsome pair of antique 19th-century Georgian English brass push-up candlesticks, beautifully crafted with elegant proportions and the refined simplicity that defines classic Georgian design. Combining exceptional quality with practical functionality, these substantial candlesticks remain as striking today as when they first illuminated English homes more than a century ago.
Each candlestick features a graceful baluster stem accented by a series of finely faceted knops that gradually decrease in size toward the candle socket, creating an elegant sense of balance and vertical movement. The traditional push-up mechanism allows spent candles to be raised and removed with ease, reflecting the thoughtful craftsmanship of the period.
Resting on generous square bases, each candlestick weighs approximately 1¾ pounds, giving them a satisfying solidity and stability rarely found in later examples. Their warm brass surfaces have developed a rich, naturally aged patina over generations of use, enhancing both their decorative appeal and historic authenticity.
Whether displayed on a dining table, mantel, sideboard, or library shelf, these elegant candlesticks bring timeless English character and understated sophistication to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
A wonderful pair of authentic Georgian brassware that beautifully combines history, craftsmanship, and everyday decorative appeal.
Condition
