This charmingly titled set comprises four distinctive pairs, each named and sized in royal hierarchy: The King of Diamonds, an imposing pair standing 13 inches tall with 4.5-inch bases; the Diamond Prince, measuring 11.75 inches high on 4.5-inch bases; the Queen of Diamonds, slightly more slender at 11 inches high with 4-inch bases; and the graceful Diamond Princess, standing 10.75 inches on 3.75-inch bases. Each features the bold, faceted “diamond” knop motif at the center, lending the set a unified sculptural elegance.

All eight candlesticks retain their original push-up mechanisms in working condition—a rare survival that enhances their functional and collectible appeal. The surfaces display a rich, varied patina consistent with age and use, with the option to polish if a brighter presentation is preferred. Seldom found as a full-named ensemble, this suite presents a unique opportunity for collectors or decorators seeking a dramatic, historic statement in solid English brass. Equally suited for formal interiors or eclectic table settings, this set blends whimsy with craftsmanship in royal proportions. See less
