A silver-plated candlestick with stable hexagonal base

This substantial piece is a silver-plated candlestick distinguished by its classic, baluster-form stem and a wide, stable hexagonal base. Its faceted, traditional styling points to a late Victorian period of manufacture, typical of mass-produced, high-quality decorative metalware. The current state of tarnish highlights its age and adds an authentic patina, making it a functional and decorative piece of antique-style lighting.
