Description from the seller
Mid-20th Century French Mixed Metal Candlestick Set – Two Distinct Pairs
This elegant set of four candlesticks, arranged in two matching pairs, beautifully illustrates the diversity of French decorative metalwork. Combining contrasting shapes and finishes, the ensemble offers both visual harmony and character, ideal for refined interior styling.
The taller pair stands out with its sculptural, turned silhouette and octagonal base, finished in a deep, aged bronze tone that adds a sense of classic sophistication. The smaller pair, crafted in warm golden brass, features a more compact and rounded design, perfect for intimate settings or layered displays. The variation between the pairs enhances their decorative versatility and collectible appeal.
Originating from France and dating to the mid-20th century, these candlesticks reflect solid craftsmanship and timeless design sensibilities. They are suitable for both functional use and decorative purposes, adding warmth and authenticity to any space.
Dimensions:
Larger pair: Height 17.5 cm (6.89 in), Width/Depth 8.2 cm (3.23 in)
Smaller pair: Height 9.2 cm (3.62 in), Diameter 7.4 cm (2.91 in)
Condition is good overall, with visible signs of use including surface wear and traces of wax, consistent with age and prior use. These authentic details contribute to their vintage charm and character.
