AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and decorative pair of vintage candlesticks, crafted from finely veined onyx/calcite-onyx in combination with richly decorated gold-colored brass. The warm stone tones, openwork classical base, and glossy metal details give the pair a distinct Hollywood Regency and neoclassical look.
The execution shows strong similarities to Italian home accessories from G.S.E., a producer known for luxurious decorative objects in which onyx and brass were combined. Because no clearly visible maker's mark is present on these candlesticks, G.S.E. is listed only as an attribution.
Dating and origin:
Probably Italy, ca. 1960–1975. The material combination, design, and decorative finish align well with Italian Hollywood Regency production from this period.
Material and finish:
The candlesticks consist of polished onyx/calcite-onyx with natural banding and color variations, combined with gold-colored brass. The elegantly openworked feet and classic spill guards provide a luxurious, almost jewel-like appearance.
Specifications:
Quantity: 2 candlesticks.
Height: ca. 11 cm.
Width: ca. 7 cm.
Weight: ca. 250 g each.
Material: onyx/calcite-onyx and gold-colored brass.
Maker: attributed to G.S.E.
Origin: Italy, attributed.
Style: Hollywood Regency / neoclassical / classic decorative.
Condition:
In excellent vintage condition. No damages, cracks, or chips observed. Only light signs of age and use on the metal, appropriate to age and use. The natural color differences and veining in the onyx are characteristic of the material and not a defect.
As a pair these candlesticks form a particularly stylish decorative ensemble for a console, sideboard, mantel, or classic tablesetting. Due to the combination of natural stone and gold-colored metal, they are genuine luxury onyx classics with a pronounced vintage glamour.
Shipping:
Both candlesticks are packed separately and with very careful protection, with extra protection around the natural stone, the base, and exposed parts. They are then placed in a sturdy outer carton and shipped traceably.
