This striking pair of 18th-century cast silver candlesticks, crafted by William Cafe in London circa 1758, exemplifies the pinnacle of Georgian silversmithing. Featuring a baluster-shaped stem with elegant, fluted detailing and a square, assay stamped bases adorned with reeded edges, these candlesticks showcase the meticulous craftsmanship for which the Cafe family was renowned. Standing at 25 cm (9.8 inches) in height and 12 cm (4.7 inches) in width and depth, they bear the hallmarks of John Cafe’s legacy, continued by his brother William after his death in 1757. William successfully maintained the business until 1772, producing fine silver candlesticks that remain a testament to the elegance of mid-18th-century English design.
