Candleholder - Marble, Onyx

Elegant pair of Art Deco marble garniture tazzas, likely French and dating to the 1930s.

These sculptural pieces were designed in the manner of mantel clock garniture sets, typically placed symmetrically on either side of a central clock to create a balanced architectural ensemble. Their shallow circular dish form, raised pedestal column, and harmonious proportions are characteristic of French Art Deco decorative stone objects of the interwar period.

Crafted from beautifully veined pink and cream marble (Viola-type marble) and accented with pale green onyx elements, the pair displays striking natural stone variation with warm rust, ivory, and violet-grey tones. The luminous green onyx rims and bases create an elegant contrast and reinforce their refined decorative presence.

The construction is solid and substantial, with internal metal fixing consistent with period stone craftsmanship.
