Pair of antique silver candlesticks in the neoclassical style first made popular in the latter part of the 18th century. The spreading circular bases of this pair of Edwardian silver candlesticks have reeded panels surmounted by elegant tapering stems and are fitted with silver rings on the underside, an extra mark of quality. The wax drips are removable for ease of cleaning.
