AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two large ecclesiastical candlesticks from roughly 1940 to 1950, executed in Dutch Art Deco style with influences from the Amsterdam School.
The candlesticks have a heavy, architectural design, with broad bell-shaped feet, bowl-like candle holders and decorative brass details. The dark patinated metal forms a pleasing contrast with the gold-tone accents. The design recalls the metalwork of Jan Eisenloeffel. This is a stylistic indication and not an official attribution.
On each candlestick sits a large decorative candle. These candles are hollowed at the top so that a smaller candle can be placed and replaced. Without a candle, each candlestick is 45 cm tall. With the large candle, the total height is approximately 107 cm. There is also a plateau on which you can place an extra candle into the candlestick.
Both candlesticks have a nice antique patina and normal signs of use, appropriate for their age and ecclesiastical origin. The candlesticks are offered as a set of two.
