📝 Description
An elegant vintage candelabra with a classic form, designed to hold five taper candles. This large piece features a turned baluster column rising from a circular base, supporting four scrolling arms and a central light.
The design is a nod to traditional Georgian or Neoclassical styles, offering a timeless, formal look perfect for a dining table centrepiece, mantelpiece, or sideboard display. The metal has a bright, slightly aged silver-tone finish (likely silver plate or a similar alloy) and the base is finished with black felt to protect surfaces.
While unmarked with a specific maker's stamp, the style and construction are typical of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative metalware. The separate candle arms suggest this piece may be convertible to a single candlestick (though it is displayed as a candelabra in the photos).

🧠 Background
Five-light candelabras have been a symbol of elegance and formality since the 18th century. Silver-plated versions became popular in the 20th century, allowing broader access to luxury table settings. The use of a black felt base is a common feature on mass-produced decorative metalware from the mid-century onward, designed to provide weight and prevent scratching of furniture.
