French Candelabra

France, 19th Century

$495

Antique Styling Essential Sylvie Favorite

Five candles in a row throw far more light than one, which was the whole idea before there was any other kind. Found in Béziers and dating to the late 19th century, this hand-forged candelabra lines up five candle cups along a straight iron bar, held on a looped, twisted frame that rises from a small arched tripod base. A smith made a piece like this by eye and by hammer, every twist and curl worked at the forge, to carry a line of flame across a table or a sideboard. Sylvie sets it on a sideboard with five tapers lit, the flames lined up and flickering against the wall behind. Two available, sold separately. 

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
