Vintage Pair of 1950s English Gold-Plated Brass Candlesticks, Made in England Barley Twist Taper Candle Holders, 14 cm

$44.52

Matching pair of authentic mid-century brass candlestick holders manufactured in England during the 1950s or 1960s.

The candlesticks feature a hollow-cast barley-twist (spiral) stem and a flared round base decorated with embossed foliate and geometric scroll motifs. They are constructed in three separate cast sections secured under tension by an internal central threaded rod. Due to the high copper-and-tin composition of the brass alloy, the hollow chambers produce a distinct musical chime when struck.

The underside of each base is stamped with a molded "MADE IN ENGLAND" manufacturer mark.

Each piece is 14 cm tall with a base diameter of 7 cm. The two candlesticks weigh together about 300 grams.

Candle Socket Diameter: Fits standard 2 cm to 2.2 cm (3/4" to 7/8") standard slim taper candles.

These are in vintage condition with visible signs of age. The gold plating shows light surface wear, minor pitting, and small dark tarnish spots, primarily along the lower rim edges and inside the top candle cups. The pieces are structurally intact with no cracks, and the internal central rods remain tightly secured.

Please view the pictures carefully and let us know if you have any questions.
