A fine pair of Victorian sterling silver candlesticks in the form of Corinthian columns, fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1895. Each candlestick features a fluted column shaft rising from a stepped square base decorated with egg-and-dart and beaded friezes, crowned by an elaborately cast Corinthian capital with acanthus leaf detail and a shaped drip pan. The nozzles are removable and also bear hallmarks.
