Item Details, Condition & Measurements
Type: Taper Candle Holders / Candlesticks Quantity: Matched Pair Vintage: Yes Estimated Circa: 1970–1990 Country of Origin: India Mark: India Maker: Unknown Material: Solid Brass, Mother of Pearl Inlay Primary Color: Aged Brass / Gold Secondary Color: Cream / Iridescent White Style: Traditional, Hollywood Regency, Eclectic, Grandmillennial Room: Entryway, Living Room, Dining Room, Bedroom, Library Occasion: All Occasions Height: Approximately 6.25" each Base Diameter: Approximately 2.5" Narrowest Diameter: Approximately 0.5" Candle Type: Taper Candle
CONDITION: Very good vintage condition with substantial natural patina, tarnish, age spots, surface variation and areas of verdigris to the brass. The mother-of-pearl inlay remains beautifully luminous with the natural color and surface variations characteristic of shell. These candlesticks have intentionally NOT been aggressively polished; their aged surface is an important part of their vintage character. Please examine all photographs closely for the exact condition and appearance of each piece.
The contrast is particularly striking: warm, deeply aged brass against the soft ivory and pearlescent shimmer of natural shell. Depending upon the light and viewing angle, the inlay moves through shades of cream, ivory and subtle iridescence.
The underside of each is marked “India.” No maker's mark has been identified.
Measurements
Sold as the pair of two candlesticks. Candles and decorative accessories shown in the staged photograph are not included.
Vintage metal note: Aged metals naturally develop tarnish, patina, oxidation and finish variation. We generally leave aged finishes unpolished; review photos for exact condition.
