A heavy pair of English brass candlesticks featuring turned baluster shafts, knop mid-sections, and square stepped bases with canted corners. These sticks mirror late 18th-century/Georgian form, but the stamped "MADE IN ENGLAND" mark on the outer base flange indicates production following the McKinley Tariff Act requirements (circa 1891 through the early-to-mid 20th century).

Dimensions & Weight

• Height: 9.5 inches

• Base Width: 4.25 inches

• Combined Weight: 4 lbs 5.1 oz

Material & Construction

Solid turned and cast brass. The construction shows hollow-cast bases and threaded/peened assembly internally, with residual mounting wax remaining inside the socket and base cavity.

Origin & Age

• Origin: England

• Age: Early 20th Century (c. 1900–1930s Georgian Revival)

Reference

• Book Title: Domestic Metalwork 1640–1820

• Author: Rupert Gentle & Rachael Feild (Revised by Belinda Gentle)

• Reference Page/Section: Page 138–142 (Illustrating classic Georgian baluster and knopped shaft forms with square molded bases).

Condition

Very good vintage condition overall. The metal retains an authentic, unpolished, warm mellow surface oxidation with light age-appropriate surface wear, minor micro-denting along base edges, and residual wax in socket wells. Bases remain structurally intact with clear, crisp stamped maker/country markings. Original natural patina remains fully intact and uncleaned.

Authenticity Assessment

While the design mimics 18th-century Georgian baluster candlesticks, the presence of the incised, machine-stamped "MADE IN ENGLAND" mark on the lower base rim definitively places production post-1891, ruling out an 18th-century casting. Additionally, the uniform interior core casting pattern and threaded/seamed junction assembly confirm early 20th-century bench manufacturing rather than earlier hand-poured 18th-century sand castings. They are authentic early 20th-century English historicist reproductions.
