Candleholder Late 19th Century - H44cm (2) - Brass

Pair of tall brass candlesticks – late 19th century – classic faceted design In excellent condition – No reserve. An elegant and well-proportioned pair of tall heavy brass candlesticks from the late 19th century, executed in a classic faceted form with a stepped hexagonal base and finely turned baluster stem. The strong vertical lines and restrained detailing give these candlesticks a timeless architectural presence, making them equally suitable for a traditional interior or a more contemporary setting. The brass has been carefully polished and presents a warm, golden tone with a refined surface sheen. Their substantial weight and solid construction clearly reflect the high-end quality typical of late 19th-century European brassware. During the late 19th century, European metalworking reached a high level of refinement, combining traditional craftsmanship with increasingly standardized production techniques. Candlesticks of this type were designed to be both functional and decorative, often drawing on earlier Baroque and Neoclassical forms while emphasizing clarity of line and balanced proportions. Such pieces were commonly found in bourgeois and upper-middle-class interiors, valued for their durability, visual harmony, and understated elegance. Condition: In excellent condition. No dents or structural issues. Dimensions and weight: Approx. 41 x 14 x 14 cm each (h x w x d). Weight : Approx. combined weight 2.25 kg. Material: Brass. A refined pair of late 19th-century brass candlesticks with strong proportions, classic detailing, and enduring decorative appeal. Ideal as statement pieces on a dining table, mantelpiece, or sideboard, and a fine addition to any interior that values historical craftsmanship and timeless design.
