Elegant antique décor never goes out of style, and this authentic pair of RS Germany candlesticks is a wonderful example of why. Finished in a luminous mother-of-pearl iridescent glaze with hand-applied gold gilt trim, these porcelain candlesticks offer refined character without being overly ornate. Their softly scalloped silhouette and warm neutral palette make them equally at home in French Country, English Cottage, Victorian, Traditional, and thoughtfully collected interiors.
The creamy iridescent finish reflects light beautifully throughout the day, pairing effortlessly with brass, crystal, marble, antique books, fine china, and natural wood furnishings. Whether displayed on a fireplace mantel, dining table, sideboard, library cabinet, or entry console, they add authentic antique charm and quiet sophistication.
The decorative gold-fleck lucite taper candles are included with the set. Although they were produced decades after the porcelain candlesticks, they complement the antique holders exceptionally well and create a beautiful ready-to-display presentation.

Vintage
Reinhold Schlegelmilch porcelain has long been admired for its fine craftsmanship and elegant decorative finishes. Pieces featuring the company's luminous mother-of-pearl glaze are especially sought after because they blend beautifully with a wide range of decorating styles while retaining the authenticity and craftsmanship of early twentieth-century German porcelain.
Unlike heavily decorated Victorian pieces, these candlesticks possess a restrained elegance that allows them to work effortlessly in both traditional and contemporary homes. Their softly reflective finish, graceful proportions, and hand-gilded accents create visual warmth without competing with surrounding décor, making them equally desirable to collectors, interior designers, and homeowners seeking authentic antique accents.
Whether incorporated into a layered bookshelf display, placed beside antique mirrors, or used as a dining table centerpiece, they provide the timeless character that only genuine antique porcelain can offer.
Thank you for considering one of my carefully selected vintage or antique treasures. I specialize in authentic pieces that have lived a full life before finding their way to my shop. Because of their age, these items should be expected to display the honest signs of time and use that make them unique—such as patina, finish wear, fading, scratches, dings, minor imperfections, age-related discoloration, or other characteristics consistent with decades of history. I make every effort to provide clear photographs, accurate descriptions, and note any significant condition issues; however, no vintage or antique item should be expected to present or perform like a newly manufactured product. By purchasing, you acknowledge that normal age-related wear and variations are part of the character and authenticity of vintage and antique pieces.
