Antique Meriden Silver Plate Candelabra 5 Arm Victorian Aesthetic Period

This is for a beautiful antique Meriden Silver Plate five-arm candelabra dating to the Late Victorian Aesthetic Period, circa the late 1800s to early 1900s. Featuring elegant twisted arms, graceful proportions, and refined detailing, this stunning centerpiece reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and decorative style of the Victorian era.

The candelabra measures approximately 12 inches tall, 11 inches wide, and 11 inches deep. It retains all five original removable candle cups, which unscrew for convenient cleaning and maintenance. The elaborate design and bright silver-plated finish make this a striking display piece for a dining table, mantel, sideboard, wedding décor, holiday tablescape, or antique silver collection.

The underside is hallmarked with the Meriden Silver Plate Company trademark depicting a lion holding a large urn within a circle, along with pattern number 3207. Meridian Silver Plate Company was established in 1869 and later became one of the original companies incorporated into International Silver Company, making their earlier pieces increasingly desirable among collectors.

This antique candelabra remains in very good condition for its age with an attractive polished appearance. There is minor wear to the silver plating along some edges and primarily on three of the removable candle cups where wax was left sitting for an extended period. The wear is most noticeable upon close inspection and is difficult to see when displayed due to the highly reflective silver finish. Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

The candelabra displays beautifully and remains a wonderful example of Victorian silverplate craftsmanship.

About Meriden Silver Plate Company:
Founded in 1869 by Charles Casper and associates, Meriden Silver Plate Company became one of the prestigious American silver manufacturers that later joined together to form International Silver Company.

Many antique silver-plated pieces from this era bear markings such as "Quadruple Plate," indicating four layers of silver plating were applied during manufacture. This designation was most commonly used during the late 19th century and helps date pieces to the Victorian period.

Today, MeridenSilver Plate pieces are highly sought after alongside other notable makers such as Gorham, Reed & Barton, Wilcox, Derby, and James W. Tufts.
This is in wonderful antique condition with the minor wear noted above and will make a beautiful addition to any antique silver collection for years to come.
