Pair of Antique Silver Column Candlesticks – Neoclassical Design, Hand-Made with “J·P” Initials, New Orleans Estate
$1,695.00
This pair of antique silver candlesticks features a timeless neoclassical design, with elegant fluted columns and stepped square bases. The pieces were acquired from a New Orleans estate and bear the hand-stamped initials “J·P” on one base.
Unlike factory-made silver, these candlesticks show the character of hand craftsmanship — slight irregularities, tool marks, and a rustic charm that speaks to their provincial origins. The design reflects late 18th–early 19th century classical influence, often seen in American and European silver of the period.
• Origin: Estate in New Orleans, Louisiana
• Material: Solid silver (coin or sterling – likely coin silver; see below)
• Weight: 27.595 troy ounces total
• Dimensions: Approx. 7 in. tall × 3 ¼ in. base (each)
• Markings: “J·P” lightly stamped on base (see photo)
• Condition: Good antique condition with expected wear, small dents, and surface irregularities consistent with age and hand craftsmanship. Polished but retaining natural patina.
These candlesticks are not only functional but also collectible, representing the kind of silversmithing more often seen in provincial or Southern workshops rather than major city makers. They may appeal to collectors of American coin silver, Southern silver, or anyone who loves pieces with strong historical character.
