Three Pairs of 19th C. English Brass Graduating Beehive Push-Up Candlesticks
England, Late 19th Century
A rare, complete graduating set of three matched pairs of late‑Victorian beehive push‑up candlesticks, English, circa 1880–90, offers an elegant sweep of height and sculptural rhythm in solid brass. Each column rises from a crisp, stepped square plinth to a flaring, turned beehive knop, the classic concentric rings catching and reflecting candlelight with warm golden radiance. The integral push-up ejector mechanisms remain intact and smoothly operable, allowing spent candles to be lifted clear with the lightest touch—an ingenious 19th-century innovation that speaks to both function and craftsmanship. Graduated proportions make styling effortless: the tallest pair stands an impressive 13 inches high on 5‑inch bases, the middle pair a versatile 11 inches on 4‑inch bases, and the charming diminutive pair a refined 9 inches on 3¼‑inch bases. All six retain an untouched, time-softened patina that testifies to their age yet can be polished to a high shine should a brighter presentation be desired. Perfect for flanking a mantel, anchoring a dining table centerpiece, or adding period authenticity to a library or entry console, this harmonious suite of antique English brass candlesticks marries decorative impact with collectible integrity—ready to illuminate today’s interiors with 19th-century character and design.
Largest Pair: 13" h x 5" diameter base
Middle Pair: 11" h x 4" diameter base
Smallest Pair: 9" h x 3.25" diameter base
