About the Item

An embodiment of Georgian elegance, this three-arm Old Sheffield candelabra harks back to 18th-century England—an era marked by opulence, refinement, and exquisite craftsmanship. Old Sheffield Plate, an early method of silver plating developed in the 1740s, revolutionized decorative arts by allowing the middle class to access luxury items that had once been exclusive to the aristocracy. This candelabra reflects that golden age, with its graceful curves, balanced proportions, and intricate repoussé floral details, echoing the neoclassical aesthetics popular during the Georgian period. It is both a functional lighting piece and a relic of a time when candlelight was the pinnacle of domestic elegance. The central column and scroll arms are crafted in the signature Sheffield technique—fusing silver with copper for a finish that ages beautifully, developing a patina prized by collectors.
