What distinguishes a silver candlestick on the table?
A silver candlestick sets itself apart with the cool shine of the metal, crisp turned or fluted detail and the way candlelight glances off a polished surface. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep silver candlesticks for dressier tables; the warmer alternative is a brass candlestick.
When is a silver candlestick the right choice over brass?
Reach for a silver candlestick over brass when a table wants something cooler and more formal, silver reading crisp against white linen and glass; both sit within our candlesticks & candle holders. Choose by the mood of the table and the room rather than by any fixed rule.
How do silver candlesticks dress a formal dinner setting?
Silver candlesticks dress a formal dinner in a pair or a run down the centre, lifting tapers so the flame sits above the plates and plays off the glasses, joined by other candlesticks holders. Keep the tapers at a height that clears seated guests' sight lines.
How do I keep a silver candlestick from tarnishing?
A silver candlestick keeps its shine if you wipe it after use, store it wrapped in acid-free tissue away from damp, and give it a light polish when a soft tarnish builds; good candles finish the look.
