Val Saint Lambert - Candlestick Galatee (2) - Crystal - 2 Candelabras VSL

Pair of chandeliers (candlesticks) in clear cut crystal, signed Val Saint Lambert, Galatée model, an iconic piece of Belgian crystalware, dating from the 1930s–1940s approximately.

Elegant, geometric form typical of Art Deco style: a central octagonal or polygonal faceted stem, composed of stacked hexagonal sections that create a play of intense prism reflections. The base is a wide hexagonal shape, entirely cut into flat facets and bevelled to ensure perfect stability and maximum brilliance. The bobeche (candle holder) is also hexagonal, with a slightly flared edge and clean, sharp cuts that highlight the precision of the workmanship.

These chandeliers are signed on the back of the base (an acid-etched mark or an engraving reading Val Saint Lambert), which confirms their original authenticity.

Dimensions per chandelier:
Total height: 12.5 cm
- Width of the hexagonal base: 10.5 cm
- Unit weight: 750 g (a substantial weight indicating the quality of lead crystal)

Condition: exceptional. The crystal is of remarkable clarity, with no cloudiness or haze. No chips, no cracks, no nicks on the edges, facets, rims, or beads. No sign of repair, polishing, or significant wear. Impeccable presentation, like new despite its age (see detailed photos).

A rare piece in a matched pair, typical of Belgium’s finest craftsmanship in cut crystal, blending structural robustness with geometric decorative refinement.

Secure and fully insured shipment via Bpost. Reinforced and meticulous packaging (double box, individually tailored padding, thick bubble wrap, protective layers to prevent any contact).
