Item Details
This pretty pair of candlesticks are old Sheffield plate, which is different to electroplating. Old Sheffield plate had a thin sheet of silver that was rolled onto copper as opposed to silver plated particles electrolysed on to a sheet of nickel. The process of Old Sheffield plate was the predecessor to silver plating.
This impressive pair of candlesticks are good quality and have a pretty shell design to the base, and reeded tapered columns.
As is the nature with these early 19 th century pieces there is copper showing through mostly on the base.
