PAIR OF CORINTHIAN COLUMN STERLING SILVER CANDLESTICKS, LONDON, 1964

A fine pair of Elizabeth II sterling silver candlesticks, designed in the majestic Corinthian style. Each piece features a fluted column rising from a stepped, square pedestal base adorned with elegant gadrooned borders. The capitals are intricately cast with traditional acanthus leaf motifs and volutes, supporting removable nozzles. Notably, the bases bear a poignant Hebrew inscription, "To kindle the light of Shabbat," indicating their bespoke commission for liturgical use. These candlesticks represent a harmonious blend of classical architectural influence and mid-century British craftsmanship, preserved in excellent condition.
