Based in stunning Speyside, Moray, Scotland, we (Mr & Mrs W) are passionate about quality antique items with great design and evident craft, predominantly from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century.
In particular, we enjoy period items reflecting the beautiful design and aesthetic changes from the decorative arts, from circa 1850 - 1960. Including the Aesthetic Movement, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts Movement (In particular of Scottish origin), Modernism, Art Deco and Streamlining. We also enjoy the great craft and quality construction in folk art and vernacular items from across Europe. In particular, Scandinavian decorative items from the 18th and 19th Century. We enjoy being analytical in our approach and supporting our stock with background research, provenance and history through researching the items, the period, designers and retailers.
We often hunt the country from our Scottish location, but routinely search from Lancashire and Yorkshire as well as buying trips further afield to supply items online. We also like to take on items that particularly interest us from earlier periods, dependent on our fascination for an object.
We are always learning, and happy to share knowledge gained, so please do get in touch. Thanks for viewing our selection of stock, we are always pleased to see items pass through our hands to new owners and homes as antiques remain a great green recyclable purchase!

Description
For sale are a beautiful pair of 19th century high quality Gothic Revival brass three light candelabra from circa 1870-1895.
- The heavy and robust ecclesiastical candelabra with urn shaped nozzles have some beautiful decorative details throughout in the gothic revival manner of the second half of the 19th Century.
- They are well constructed and solid/weighty providing a very stable base for the three candlesticks.
- The branched candelabra design is similar to one of the modular design elements illustrated by the John Hardman & Co catalogue (bottom right), suppliers of church furniture / hardware and metalwork designs for both A.W and E.W Pugin in the mid 1880's.
- The candelabra are supported on a tapered cylindrical column with architectural scroll spandrels. These are raised on tapered square plinths which in turn are raised on pierced trefoil corner bracket feet.
- The candelabra have some lovely design details throughout, in particular around the branch, the supporting brackets, the top of the square pedestal and the corner bracket feet. These are of good quality and the intricate and different elements individually would have been costly to produce to this quality.
The pair are ready to be used in any decorative environment and provide continued service, a testament to their design and construction at c.135 years of age.
