Pair of brass ecclesiastical candle sticks
A pair of mid 19th century Gothic revival brass ecclesiastical candle sticks circa 1850.
The Gothic Revival was an architectural movement that emerged in the late 18th and flourished throughout the 19th century, inspired by the medieval Gothic style. It emphasised verticality, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and intricate ornamentation.
Originating in Britain, the movement spread across Europe and North America, influencing churches, universities, and even domestic architecture. Architects like Augustus Pugin and John Ruskin promoted Gothic design as morally superior and spiritually uplifting, contrasting it with industrial modernity.
The style symbolised a romantic return to craftsmanship, faith, and tradition, leaving a lasting legacy in landmarks such as the Palace of Westminster and countless cathedrals.
