{"product_id":"vintage-pair-of-neoclassical-style-25411","title":"Vintage Pair of Neoclassical Style Candlesticks, Brass-Tone Metal with Tapered Baluster Stems and Stepped Square Bases, 19th Century, 24 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, a brass candlestick was one of the hardest-working objects in a home. Silver was for the dining room of the wealthy, but brass lit kitchens, bedrooms and studies everywhere. Founders often cast the stems in two vertical halves, then joined and turned them on a lathe. That method kept the metal thin and the candlestick light enough to carry from room to room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair of candlesticks has the calm, plain lines of the Neoclassical style. Each stands on a stepped square base with gently sloping sides, which gives it a broad, stable footing. A turned collar leads into a long, tapering stem that swells slightly at the top under a ringed knop. Above that sits an urn-shaped candle cup with a wide, flat drip pan to catch the wax. There is no applied ornament at all. The shape alone gives the pair its quiet elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe candlesticks are in good condition and would benefit from a light clean to brighten the metal. Together they weigh 1.45 kg, so they stand steadily. They suit a mantelpiece, a dining table or a sideboard, and their simple lines sit just as well in a modern room as in a traditional one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a vintage pair of Neoclassical style candlesticks in brass-tone metal, with tapered baluster stems and stepped square bases, attributed to the nineteenth century. Each is 24 cm tall, and they are exactly as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Height 24 cm (9.4 in); base 9 × 9 cm (3.5 × 3.5 in), each.
