Each piece rises from a tripod base with scrolled feet and features a fluted stem punctuated by decorative knops, terminating in a scalloped bobeche that cradles the candle socket. Circa 19th century, these candlesticks reflect the English Gothic Revival movement, which drew inspiration from medieval ecclesiastical architecture and design. The style gained tremendous popularity during the Victorian era as collectors and designers sought to revive the pointed arches, intricate detailing, and vertical emphasis characteristic of Gothic structures.
