About the Item

This exquisite pair of Art Deco sterling silver candelabras was realized in the United States circa 1930. They feature convex circular hand hammered bases with a dappled texture that ascend into a subtly conical bodies. The protuberant base of the body is wrapped with petal forms in relief complete with stylized pistils in their center composed of a cylindrical rod capped with a spherical form. The central stem concludes with a cylindrical hand hammered candleholder with a circular bobeche. Two streamlined swooping arms extend in opposite directions from this central stem with pyramidal voids- replete with foliate detailing in their center- where they adjoin the body of the candelabra. These arms also conclude in dappled, hand hammered candleholders with circular bobeches. With their fastidious attention to detail, clean modernist lines and beautiful craftsmanship, these candleholders promise to add more than a touch of elegance to any table setting regardless of the style of decor. They are in excellent vintage condition.
