Antique Victorian Large Silver Plated Five Branch Candelabra Dining Table Centrepiece with Detachable Sconces

A large and impressive antique Victorian silver plated five branch candelabra of superb decorative quality, ideal as a striking dining table centrepiece. The candelabra stands on a beautifully shaped base with richly cast scrolling decoration, rising to a tall tapering central column which supports four elegant sweeping branches together with a central candle socket forming a five light arrangement. Each arm is finely modelled with decorative mounts and scrolling detail typical of high quality Victorian silver plate. A particularly desirable feature is that the branches and sconces are fully detachable. This allows the piece to be used either as a grand five branch candelabra or converted into individual candlesticks, making it both decorative and highly versatile. The elegant proportions, elaborate casting and impressive scale make this a wonderful statement piece for a dining table, sideboard or centrepiece display. Pieces of this size and presence are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Condition Report: Very good antique condition with light age related wear to the silver plating consistent with age and use. Structurally solid with all branches and detachable sconces present.
