This style of candlestick was extremely popular in the middle part of the eighteenth century. The advantage of a cast candlestick is that it is always of a much stronger gauge and the whole candlestick is made of sterling silver with no filling whatsoever. John Cafe was apprenticed to James Gould and so learned his craft from an outstanding candlestick maker. John and his brother William appeared to have almost a monopoly as cast candlestick makers during their time and their cast candlesticks were virtually indistinguishable.
