Val Saint Lambert - Tealight holder - Crystal

VAL SAINT LAMBERT – Pair of candlestick holders ‘Sacré-Cœur’

The Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ
Satin-pressed crystal – Early 20th century

An exceptional pair of candlestick holders in pressed crystal made by the prestigious Val Saint Lambert ateliers, depicting on one side the Virgin Mary with the Immaculate Heart, the other Jesus Christ with the Sacred Heart, emblematic iconography of sacred art from the Belle Époque.

Each piece features a finely sculpted sculpture, resting on a base richly adorned with cherubs with outstretched wings, arranged at each foot, giving the whole a strong symbolic dimension and a striking sculptural presence.

The drip pan is delicately decorated with herbaceous motifs, evoking oak leaves or stylized foliage, adding a naturalistic elegance typical of the period’s decorative vocabulary.

The circular base is embellished with relief medallions depicting traditional theological symbols:
– the Heart,
– the Cross,
– the Anchor,
symbols respectively of charity, faith and hope, perfectly integrated into the composition and reinforcing the spiritual impact of the whole.

Each candlestick measures 23 cm high and 13 cm in diameter.

The crystal, with a satin finish, catches the light softly, highlighting the fineness of the drapery, the precision of the faces, and the quality of workmanship characteristic of Val Saint Lambert religious productions at the beginning of the 20th century.

Rare and decorative, this set constitutes a remarkable testament to Belgian glassmaking expertise and the importance of religious iconography in the decorative arts of the period.

Condition: very good state of preservation, with no notable damage, in good condition despite its age
