ABOUT PRODUCTID 1578
This chamberstick, crafted by the renowned Fraget manufactory in Warsaw in the second half of the 19th century, exemplifies the utilitarian elegance of neoclassical silverplate. Its design is restrained: a square tray with softly rounded corners and a gently raised rim supports a central cylindrical candle holder, featuring a flared base and an ornamental ringed collar. The substantial, circular finger handle is adorned with a delicate floral motif on the thumb rest—a detail distinctively associated with Warsaw’s silverware of the era. The surface retains a cool, silvery tone with a subtle matte finish and traces of authentic patina. Minor abrasions and faint scratches are visible on the edges and handle, typical for an object of such advanced age. The construction remains solid, with visible seams and joints characteristic of 19th-century craftsmanship. In very good condition—no significant dents, original components preserved. This chamberstick whispers of a bygone century—quietly evoking evenings by candlelight in the hushed interiors of 19th-century Warsaw. Its balanced form and noble simplicity recall the everyday refinement of pre-electric times, when a single flame marked the day’s end in soft silvery reflections. The gentle ornament on the handle and the mellow patina are traces of countless gestures, offering a tangible sense of intimacy with the past. The Fraget chamberstick may be displayed atop a dark wood chest or marble surface, where its metallic coolness creates a compelling contrast with the warmth of natural materials. It works as a standalone accent within classic or eclectic interiors—paired with robust ceramics, glass vases, or period-bound books.
