AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of solid brass candle holders – Neoclassical / Directoire style – 20th century
Wonderful pair of decorative brass candle holders with an elegant architectural design, typical of the neoclassical style inspired by Directoire, in a modern 20th-century interpretation.
These holders are distinguished by their balanced proportions, refined baluster silhouette, and substantial weight, a guarantee of stability and craftsmanship. They make characterful decorative pieces, ideal for a classic, contemporary, or eclectic interior.
Detailed description
Material: solid brass (copper alloy)
Manufacturing technique: precision mechanical turning
Assembly: monobloc pieces, no visible welds
Finish: warm brown patina, homogeneous, with very light natural oxidation in the recesses, indicating age
Structure: stable circular base, baluster central shaft, wide upper cups
The precise machining and circular grooves visible in certain areas attest to careful industrial production, typical of high-end decorative furniture from the 20th century.
Dimensions & weight
Height (approx.): 22–25 cm
Base diameter (approx.): 10–12 cm
Weight: ± 2.26 kg per candlestick
Total: over 4.5 kg for the pair
This high weight confirms the use of solid brass, not hollow metal or plated material.
Style & era
Style: neoclassical / reinterpretation of Directoire
Era: 20th century (likely second half)
Origin: European decorative production (France / Belgium / Italy, aesthetic attribution)
The intentionally timeless design revisits classical codes (baluster, turned profiles, stacked discs) in a modern, elegant, and sober interpretation.
Condition
Very good overall condition
Small signs of use and minor superficial marks compatible with age
No distortion, crack, or repair
Bases flat and perfectly stable
Highlights
- Matching pair
- Solid brass, very heavy
- Elegant, timeless design
- Superior decorative quality
- Ideal for classic, modern, or design interiors
Important note
These are decorative 20th-century candle holders, not antique or old liturgical objects.
