Description from the seller
Pair of Art Deco Two-Light Candlesticks - Streamline Geometric Clear Glass - Hexagonal Stepped Bases - France, ca. 1930
A magnificent and highly architectural pair of authentic Art Deco two-light (twin-arm) candlesticks, dating from the interwar period (ca. 1930). This symmetrical set of two perfectly embodies the "Streamline Moderne" and Bauhaus-influenced design language of the 1930s.
Design & Architectural Form
The candlesticks feature a striking, minimalist U-shaped twin arm that seamlessly flows into a heavy, stepped hexagonal base. The purity of the clear, thick-walled glass combined with the sharp geometric angles creates a beautiful play of light and reflections. This minimalist, balanced design makes them a highly sought-after decorative set for both classic and modern high-end interiors.
Origin & Craftsmanship
While unmarked—as was common for molded glass of this era—the outstanding quality, weight, and specific geometric execution strongly echo the famous Luxval production by Val Saint Lambert (Belgium) under the art direction of Charles Graffart and René Delvenne. Similar high-quality modernist designs were also produced by premium French glassworks such as Portieux or Reims.
Condition
Overall Condition: Excellent vintage condition with great clarity and brilliance.
Glass Integrity: No cracks, no structural restorations, and no cloudiness.
Edges & Bases: The vulnerable corners of the stepped hexagonal bases and the inner rims of the candle nozzles are remarkably crisp, showing only minimal, age-appropriate wear.
