These elegant candlesticks, of which we bought a pair, are described on Pete’s website as ‘colonial candlesticks’, and are based on a piece from 1765. They are slender and graceful, and comparatively plain, and would suit a variety of different environments. For now, they’re pencilled in for the dinner table, where they’ll be complemented by other pieces of Pete Acquisto’s exquisite miniature silverwork.
