Antique silver plate 5-light candelabra pair, Victorian England circa 1870, featuring a classic baluster form with five candle arms. Designed for taper candles, this pair provides both functional lighting and a decorative statement for dining tables, mantels, and formal interiors. Ideal for antique collectors, event styling, and heritage-inspired décor.

This magnificent pair of 5-lite candelabra showcases the elegance and craftsmanship of the late Victorian era. Crafted in England circa 1870 by Corbell & Co., each candelabrum is silver plated and designed in a classic baluster form, with gracefully curved arms branching from a central column. Decorative scrollwork and refined proportions create a commanding presence, whether displayed on a formal dining table, mantel, or sideboard.

Each piece holds five candles, offering both functional illumination and a timeless decorative statement. The silver plating has developed a warm, authentic patina that enhances the intricate detailing and reflects the history and character of these 19th-century treasures.

From the studio

Pieces of this scale introduce more than light—they establish atmosphere. A candelabra pair creates height, symmetry, and a sense of occasion, whether placed along a dining table or used to anchor a larger arrangement.

In both interiors and event settings, they bring a quiet formality—something that feels composed rather than decorative alone. The result is a setting that feels intentional, layered, and enduring.
