Pair of graceful Edwardian silver candlesticks in the neoclassical style that was first made popular during the late 18th century. The elegance and simplicity of these antique candlesticks means they would fit in with any decorative setting. The candlesticks and nozzles are decorated with thread pattern mounts, and the nozzles are removable for ease of cleaning.

Neoclassicism was born in Rome in the mid-18th century before spreading throughout Europe. It is the name given to Western movements in the arts and architecture that draw inspiration from the classical art and culture of Ancient Greece or Rome. The neoclassical motifs reflect the classical architectural designs of the Greek and Roman empires, including columns, pediments, Greek key patterns, acanthus leaves, urns and festoons of fruit and flowers.
