Vintage Mid-20th-Century French Metal Candle Holders, Art Deco Pair
An elegant and architectural pair of French metal candle holders dating from the early to mid-20th century. With their flared cups, weighted marble bases and restrained silhouette, they embody the quiet confidence of the Art Deco period, streamlined, balanced and timeless.
Designed to hold pillar candles, the wide drip trays and cylindrical wells reflect both function and form. When lit, they cast a warm glow that softens their sculptural lines and enhances the contrast between cool metal and stone.
Provenance & History
Likely French in origin, circa 1920s to 1940s. The Art Deco movement favoured clean geometry and honest materials, expressed here through the combination of metal and marble. Decorative yet purposeful, such pieces would have been placed on mantels, consoles or dining tables, adding understated sophistication to domestic interiors.
Design Notes
Metal construction with subtle tonal variation
Flared cup with integrated drip tray
Solid marble base providing weight and balance
Sleek, symmetrical Art Deco form
Designed for pillar candles
Height 24cm
Diameter 12cm
Condition
Very good vintage condition. Gentle surface wear consistent with age. Natural patina and minor marks add depth and authenticity without detracting from function.
Styling Inspiration
Striking on a mantelpiece, console table or layered into a darker corner where candlelight can animate their silhouette. They pair beautifully with antique woods, painted cabinetry and textured interiors. Styled together as a pair, they create symmetry and presence, equally compelling unlit or glowing at dusk.
