AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Continental Silver Art Deco Curved Two-Light Candlestick (c. 1920s–1930s)
This striking Art Deco two-light candlestick features a dramatic, swept double-curved "X" frame set upon a stepped, tiered black wooden base. Hallmarked with the Austro-Hungarian / Hungarian Diana head mark with the number "3" (confirming a purity of .800 fine silver), the piece exemplifies the radical, high-architectural design movement of the Interwar period. The silver assembly features clean sweeping planes crowned with flat-collared square candle sconces, creating a bold interplay between polished metal and ebonized wood.
* Type: Art Deco Two-Light Candelabrum / Candlestick
* Hallmarks: Official Diana Head mark (Purity #3 indicating .800 fineness) along with Master/Maker’s mark
* Silver Weight: 364 grams (silver structure excluding the base weight)
* Period: Art Deco (c. 1920s–1930s)
* Design Features: Architectural "X"-form sweeping arms, square geometric sconces, stepped ebonized base
* Condition: Excellent vintage condition with natural age patina and warm surface luster
