AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent pair of antique brass push-button candlesticks – 19th century – circa 1800–1850
Superb pair of antique gilded brass candlesticks, single-candle each, presenting an elegant classic silhouette and an interesting traditional push-button mechanism.
These magnificent candlesticks are distinguished by their slender form, meticulous craftsmanship, and authentic charm, characteristic of traditional lighting accessories of the 19th century.
Each candlestick rests on a wide flared circular base, adorned with several concentric moldings, offering good stability to the ensemble.
The central cylindrical shaft is elegantly accentuated by molded rings and a rounded lower portion.
It terminates in a pretty flared circular socket intended to receive a candle.
An interesting feature lies in their sliding push-button system.
Each candlestick has a small metal rod placed in a vertical opening of the shaft.
This mechanism allows the remnants of candles to be raised for easier extraction, a traditional device particularly ingenious.
The brass presents a magnificent old-golden color, accompanied by a natural patina with brown and slightly greenish nuances, which underscores their charm and character.
Specifications:
- Estimated period: First half of the 19th century, circa 1800–1850.
- Style: Classic, Georgians-inspired.
- Material: Brass.
- Color: Old-gold, naturally patinated brass.
- Height: 22 cm each.
- Base diameter: 11 cm.
- Quantity: 2 single-candle candlesticks.
- Special feature: Traditional sliding push-button mechanism.
Condition:
Good decorative condition for age, with a lovely natural patina reflecting use over time.
Presence of oxidation traces, small scratches, signs of wear, and some superficial residues, particularly on the foot of one candlestick, visible in the photographs.
The brass has not been fully polished in order to preserve its patina and its antique character.
The operation of the push-button mechanisms should be checked.
These elegant candlesticks will bring a touch of authenticity and refinement to a fireplace, a sideboard, a reception table, or a characterful interior.
A beautiful decorative and utilitarian pair, particularly interesting for lovers of antique brass, collectible objects, and historical lighting accessories.
Sold together, without candles.
