Each piece is stamped “S.L” for Suckling Ltd., alongside “MADE IN ENGLAND” and “SILVER PLATED ON COPPER,” confirming both maker and material.

The design features elegant, tapered stems rising from square bases, with two scrolling serpentine arms supporting a total of three candle sockets. Decorative bands accent the form, recalling the classical ornamentation of the Georgian period. As was customary with candelabras of this style, the upper section can be removed, allowing each base to function as an individual candlestick if desired.

The bases exhibit minor loss of silver plating, consistent with age and use, but this does not detract from the overall presentation.

Produced during the 1920s, these candelabras exemplify both the craftsmanship and stylistic influences of William Suckling Ltd., a Birmingham-based silversmith known for quality silver-plated wares. Their restrained neoclassical form, combined with versatile function, makes them a timeless addition to both period and contemporary interiors. See less
