925 Sterling Silver Candlestick Renascence — approx. 25 cm, triangular base

Three feet instead of four — for a candlestick, this isn't a design whim, but the reason it doesn't wobble. Three points always lie on a single plane, while four cannot: on a table surface that is even slightly uneven, one foot of a four-legged base will always hang in the air. Anyone who has ever experienced a wobbly candlestick with a lit candle knows why that matters.

What the name implies

The manufacturer refers to this model as Renascence. This refers to the design language of the Renaissance: a shaft structured in clear sections rather than a continuous curve — base, baluster node, shaft, drip cup, nozzle. Each section has its own outline, and the transitions are formed as rings.

The difference compared to Baroque candlesticks lies in the tranquility. Here, the ornament does not grow over the entire surface, but sits at the joints.

Why the drip cup is chased

The cup below the nozzle catches dripping wax. On a smooth cup, you see every drop; on a chased one, it disappears into the ornament. This is the practical reason why there is so often decoration in this exact spot — it makes the candlestick look better between cleanings.

Material

A candlestick is subject to tension that isn't immediately visible: A candle burns at the top, while the base must absorb the tilting moment at the bottom — at 25 centimeters high, a bump against the table is enough. Solid silver provides the necessary weight; a silver-plated piece would either be too light or filled with a core material. Moreover, the chasing on the shaft and cup would not allow for plating anyway, as it would tear during the embossing process.

What it is suitable for

For standard-size taper candles. Among the candlesticks from this manufacturer, this is the lowest and the only one with a triangular base — and the entry point into this product category, whose remaining pieces start at nearly 40 centimeters.

Significantly taller and crafted with acanthus leaves are the classic 39 cm candlestick and the large 47 cm candlestick.

As a gift

Candlesticks are almost always used in pairs — for Shabbat, two are the rule, and they also look best in pairs on a set table. Anyone giving them as a gift should keep this in mind: a single candlestick is a beginning, not a conclusion.

An engraving is possible on the base after evaluation, on the smooth area between the volutes; we are happy to provide advice on placement and size in advance. Upon request, we can include a SilberVerse card (15 × 10 cm) free of charge.

Care

Clean by hand with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not put in the dishwasher. Do not scrape off wax residue — place the candlestick in warm water for a moment, and the wax can be removed without damaging the surface. Use a soft brush for the chased drip cup.

Frequently asked questions

Does every taper candle fit?

Standard candles do. Very thin candles may sit loosely — candle collars are available for this purpose.

Is it really more stable than a candlestick with four feet?

On an uneven surface, yes, and that is the norm. Three points of contact always lie on a single plane.

Can I get two identical ones?

Yes — contact us if you would like a pair. We will then place a joint order with the manufacturer.

Solid or silver-plated?

Solid 925 sterling silver. We do not carry silver-plated items.

Is it delivered in a gift box?

Yes, in high-quality packaging from the manufacturer.
