Candleholder (2) - Copper, Bronze - the Amsterdam School

Two large ecclesiastical candlesticks from circa 1940 to 1950, executed in Dutch Art Deco style with influences from the Amsterdam School.

The candlesticks have a heavy, architectural design, with wide clock-shaped feet, bowl-shaped candle holders and decorative brass details. The dark patinated metal forms a beautiful contrast with the gold-colored accents. The design is reminiscent of the metalwork by Jan Eisenloeffel. This is an indication of style and not an official attribution.

On each candlestick sits a large decorative candle. These candles are hollowed at the top, so a smaller candle can be placed inside and replaced. Without a candle, each candlestick is 45 cm tall. With the large candle, the total height is about 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 to their age and ecclesiastical origin. The candlesticks are offered as a set of two.
