ABOUT PRODUCTID 2390
This pair of Viennese table candlesticks, dating from circa 1880–1900, exemplifies the late Rococo revival in nineteenth-century decorative arts. Crafted from brass plated with silver, they possess a cool, lustrous tone and a distinctly sculptural silhouette. Each candlestick rests on four hemispherical feet, seamlessly integrated into a shell-like base, while the design is enriched with asymmetrical scrolls, flowing lines, and richly modeled stems. The surface is smooth, subtly undulating, with gentle ridges accentuating the ornamental motifs. The silver plating remains intact and evenly distributed, with no visible signs of wear or loss. Measuring 29 cm in height and 13.5 cm in width, the pair is preserved in excellent condition, free from damage or restoration. These candlesticks evoke the aura of nineteenth-century Vienna, where a longing for Baroque and Rococo splendor met the desire for refinement in everyday surroundings. The dynamic, organic curves seem to move in the candlelight, while the silvery surface reflects shimmering highlights, conjuring stories of bygone dinners and parlor conversations. Every detail—from the soft arcs to the meticulously chased bases—reveals a care for atmosphere and ritual that shaped the bourgeois interiors of late nineteenth-century Europe. The candlesticks could be paired with a substantial dark wooden or marble table, their silvery sheen accentuating the richness of surrounding materials. They would suit a classically furnished living room or an eclectic collector’s interior, complementing porcelain pieces, glassware, or richly textured textiles. Consider combining them with other period accents—a gilt-framed mirror or a tapestry—to emphasize the timeless quality of Viennese style.
