AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 2 antique uranium glass candlesticks – UV reactive – circa early 20th century – 18.5 cm
Beautiful set of two antique candlesticks made from uranium glass. These special glass candlesticks have an elegant, cut form with a faceted foot and a slender, lightly twisted stem. Under UV light they glow spectacularly bright green, a characteristic effect of uranium glass that is highly loved by collectors.
Uranium glass was produced mainly in the late 19th and early 20th century and is known for its subtle greenish tint in normal light and the striking fluorescent glow under ultraviolet light. This makes these candlesticks not only decorative but also a particularly collectible object.
The design with a broad octagonal foot and elegant stem gives the candlesticks a classic look that fits well in both antique and vintage interiors.
Condition
The candlesticks are generally in good vintage condition.
There are several small chips on the underside of the foot. These are located exclusively at the bottom and are not visible from the normal front when the candlesticks are displayed. Furthermore there are no notable damages.
Dimensions
• Height: approx. 18.5 cm
• Material: uranium glass / vaseline glass
• Quantity: 2 candlesticks
Special features
• Fluorescent under UV light
• Nice facets in foot and stem
• Decorative and sought-after collectible
A stunning set for uranium glass collectors, antique glassware, or anyone looking for a unique decorative piece with a special light-emitting effect.
