Description from the seller

Mid-20th Century French Brass and Alabaster Candlesticks – Refined Two-Tone Design

This elegant pair of French candlesticks embodies the understated sophistication of mid-20th century decorative arts. Combining warm brass with smooth alabaster, they offer a harmonious contrast of textures and tones, making them ideal for both classic and contemporary interiors.

Each piece features a circular brass candle holder and drip tray, supported by a slender, finely turned stem. A polished alabaster sphere at the center enhances the visual balance, while the stepped alabaster base provides stability and a refined architectural presence. The brass has developed a soft natural patina over time, enriching the overall character.

Origin: France, mid-20th century.
A stamped marking “127” is visible under the base, indicating a production reference.

Materials: Solid brass and natural alabaster.
Height: 21.5 cm (8.46 inches).
Base diameter: 10.3 cm (4.06 inches).

Condition: Overall good vintage condition with visible signs of age and use. Both candlesticks are slightly twisted, and one more noticeably so, reflecting their age and adding to their authentic vintage character. Light surface wear and natural patina to the brass are present. The alabaster remains in pleasing condition, and the pieces remain stable.

A charming and collectible decorative pair, perfect for enhancing a dining table, mantelpiece, or refined interior with authentic French vintage elegance.
