ABOUT PRODUCTID 26996
This wall-mounted accordion candle holder from Poland, dating to around 1900, exemplifies the late 19th-century eclectic style. Crafted from white metal, likely nickel-plated brass or a similar alloy, it features a muted, warm silver tone with a subtly aged matte patina. The distinctive scissor mechanism smoothly extends the arm from 11 to 22 cm, allowing for adjustable reach and angle. The wall plate is richly adorned with floral-inspired ornamentation, while the arm and candle cup display more geometric, balanced forms with turned elements and spherical joints. The surface is mostly smooth, with minor casting irregularities, and visible rivets and screws emphasize the mechanical character. The candle cup is classic, slightly flared at the top. The overall condition is very good—only minor traces of patina and small surface marks are present, with no visible damage or repairs.This candle holder seems to echo the spirit of the turn of the 20th century—a time when eclecticism encouraged the free blending of geometric order and ornate detail. The metal arm slides open with a gentle resistance, as if inviting a quiet ritual of lighting a candle in a middle-class drawing room of the era. The matte silver finish and botanical reliefs evoke the interplay of light and shadow across the walls, as candlelight softly disperses into the evening.
