Description from the seller

Set of 3 French Art Deco Machine Age Candle Holders - Brass & Dark Wood - c. 1930/40

This is an exceptional set of three French Art Deco candle holders, masterfully crafted during the 1930s or 1940s. The pieces embody the "Machine Age" aesthetic, characterized by a harmonious blend of polished brass and rich, dark solid wood.

Each holder features a unique sculptural form, showcasing the experimental and geometric spirit of the era. One standout design features a creative diagonal ramp accented by small brass spheres and a dramatic circular scroll.

A second piece offers elegant curved brass arms supported by pillars with spherical rivet detailing, reminiscent of industrial architecture.

The third candelabra provides a balanced, horizontal silhouette that emphasizes clean modernist lines and spherical wooden joinery.

These items are highly characteristic of the high-end decorative objects produced in Paris, echoing the works of modernist masters like Jacques Adnet. While unmarked, the superior quality of the brass work suggests they originated from a prestigious boutique artisan workshop.

The warm, dark tones of the wood create a sophisticated contrast against the reflective, golden-hued brass surfaces. All three candle holders remain in good vintage condition, possessing a natural patina that validates their age and heritage.

To guarantee their safe arrival, the entire set will be professionally and securely packaged using high-quality protective materials. The parcel will be shipped fully insured to the winning bidder, providing total peace of mind for the delivery of these rare collectibles.
