When:
4 February – 19 May 2012
Where:
The London Silver Vaults, Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1QS
The London Silver Vaults – the
home
of silver shopping – from the beginning of February will be hosting the Spring selling exhibition featuring a beautiful variety of silver candlesticks and candelabra from the early XVIII century to the present day.
Flickering candlelight at the dining table is a vital element to create the ambiance for the most stylish dinners. The selection of antique and modern silver to be displayed will encompass all tastes from timeless Georgian elegance to avant garde contemporary styles.
Whether you prefer a set of two or four traditional candlesticks, or a more mix and match approach combining candlesticks with a candelabra, these can be enhanced when displayed down the centre of a table with tea-lights below to set the silver off to its utmost sparkle.
Candelabra will be shown with two-, three-, four-, and five-arm variations; many candelabra have removable arms for additional use as a single candlestick. Small desk candlesticks, which would originally have been used to read by, could be collected in a variety of designs to group together on a mantelpiece.
The exhibition will also display oil lamps, chambersticks, wax jacks, table lighters, even electric lamps, and such vital accoutrements as candlesnuffers and wick trimmers. With prices ranging from under £200 to over £20,000, there will be examples for all budgets.
