The classic & elegant proportions make these lamps well sized for the bedside, corridor, sideboard or mantelpiece. They would suit a range of interiors such as Antique, Traditional, Country, Hollywood Regency or Contemporary.
The design, in solid polished brass, consists of tapering columns rising from rounded and chamfered stepped square bases & beaded decoration. Towards the top there is a wide shoulder with moulded girdles leading to the fluted sconce with vertical banding decoration & a round bobeche for the light. The lamp holder is new and covered by a new cream card candle tube.
At the bottom, inside the base, both lamps still retaining their original candle ejectors push rods.
Both antique candlesticks were individually handmade so there are minor variations in design & proportions.
Each lamp carries 1 standard small screw light bulb (E14) up to 40 Watts. At present they are fitted & photographed with Candle Clear shaped light bulbs of 25 Watts. These are included in the price. There is a new UK plug up to 250V and earthed, this can be changed to local electricity.
Each lamp is finished with a new clip-on cream silk candle lampshade. The shade is tapered and has wide pleat detailing, complete with a crepe trim top and bottom. It is lined in the same colour which enhances the glow of light.
These antique lamps are in very good condition. The frames are sound. The metal surfaces overall are in very good condition for their age. The original antique patina has been preserved, adding character & depth. The original lacquer is present on the brass, with minor superficial marks & patination in places in line with age & wear. The 2 lampshades are new and in very good condition.

THE ADAMS STYLE & CANDLESTICK HISTORY
The method of producing candlesticks changed in the 18th Century. The stem was cast in one piece with a removable core allowing much finer castings, in a two piece mould, and multi faceted shapes. The noticeable seams on the pieces are a good indicator production technique and age. The Neoclassical styles were popular from 1765 onwards.
The Adam Style (or Style of the Brothers Adam) is an 18th Century English Neoclassical style of interior design and architecture proposed by three Scottish brothers, of whom Robert Adam (1728–1792) and James Adam (1732–1794) were the better known. They pursued an integrated style for architecture and interiors following a single uniform scheme (building, decoration, furniture, fittings).
