Once the centrepiece of a candlelit table, these heirloom candlesticks now lend their timeless charm to any modern home. Perfect for a mantel, dining table, or bedside — styled with simple tapers for a look both classic and soulful.
Origin: France, circa 1880–1900
Material: Solid brass
Condition: Excellent antique condition with light surface wear and patina consistent with age.
Dimensions: 8" H x 4" Base diameter
Material: Solid brass, with a naturally aged patina and slight wear consistent with age — signs like minor uneven coloring or faint verdigris near joints are typical of authentic period pieces.
- Form: The design is in the Georgian Revival or early Victorian style, with turned stems and broad drip pans (bobeches) meant to catch wax.
- Base: The weighted circular base suggests they were designed for stability on mantels or tables, common in domestic candle lighting before electricity became widespread.
- Craftsmanship: These were likely hand-turned on a lathe, not mass-produced — you can see slight asymmetries and tool marks that add to their charm.
