This exquisite antique English barley twist candlestick showcases classic craftsmanship and timeless design. Crafted from dark-stained English oak, the candlestick features a striking open double-helix barley twist stem, a decorative motif long associated with traditional English furniture and décor.

The top is fitted with a scalloped brass candle cup and wax catcher (bobeche), adding both function and visual contrast to the warm oak wood. The piece is grounded by a circular dish-form base, subtly molded at the edge for added refinement and stability.

Barley twist, also known historically as the Solomonic column, has origins dating back to antiquity and experienced major revivals during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. This example is most consistent with late 19th to early 20th century English craftsmanship, when lathe-turned barley twist designs became highly popular in domestic decorative arts.

Perfect for displaying taper candles on a mantel, dining table, or sideboard, this candlestick brings an authentic English country, cottagecore, Jacobean, or traditional interior aesthetic to any space.
