12 Inch Candlestick Pair

Set a proper glow on a mantelpiece. The 12 Inch Pewter Candlestick Pair stands a full foot tall, hand cast from antique moulds with the classic turned silhouette of an eighteenth century design.

Each candlestick is hand cast in some of the finest British pewter at our Birmingham pewter workshop, using antique moulds, then turned on a lathe and polished by hand. Each stands 12 inches tall on a 5¼ inch base and weighs around 980g, stable enough not to be knocked over by a passing sleeve. The pair earns its keep on a mantel, a sideboard or a Christmas table.

Pewter has a particular relationship with candlelight. It does not gleam back at you the way silver does, it glows softly instead, which is exactly what you want on a dining table at dusk. Both candlesticks carry our A. E. Williams touch mark, which makes the pair a fitting gift for weddings, anniversaries or milestone birthdays.

Please note that this item is made to order and can take up to six weeks. Use our website chat feature or email us to find out an estimated date.

A Pewter Maker picking up an Antique Mould

A E Williams (Est 1779) Ltd is one of Britain's oldest pewter makers, still run by the family that founded it nearly 250 years ago. 


The story began when Thomas Williams started a small workshop making flatware and dishes from his home on the Welsh border, and from there the craft passed down through eight generations of the same family, all the way to Rebecca Johnson, who joined the business in 2015. 


Today we're based at our workshop in Digbeth, Birmingham, where we've been since the early 1970s.

OUR STORY
Pouring molten pewter into a bronze mould

We work from a collection of over 1,500 antique bronze moulds, some of which are centuries old. Many were made by hand long before machine tooling existed, and we still use them today, alongside moulds and skills of our own, to produce pieces with the kind of character that mass production simply can't replicate.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At A E Williams, the materials we work with have been chosen over nearly 250 years of making things properly. Pewter sits at the heart of everything we do, but we also work with slate, glass, leather, and wood — each selected because it brings something the others can't: a different feel, a different occasion, a different kind of beauty.

Whatever you're looking for, every material we use is chosen to last, and to look better for it.
