Pair of Weighted Sterling Silver Candlesticks, Neoclassical Reeded Column, Pierced Gallery Cups, Beaded Base

Fluted columns, urn-shaped cups, and beaded borders came into English and American silver with the neoclassical taste of the late 18th century, and silversmiths returned to that vocabulary again and again for the formal dining room. This pair carries it forward in weighted sterling. Each candlestick has a reeded column that tapers down to a domed, spreading foot ringed in a crisp beaded border, and is topped by an urn-form socket with a pierced gallery band that catches the light around the candle. Set them at either end of a sideboard or flank a centerpiece for a quietly classic table.

Dimensions (each): 3.75" W x 7" H
