Pieces like this often began their lives quite differently than they appear today. Many candelabra built with a sculptural, looping arm were originally designed to hold candles, only electrified later as households moved toward modern lighting — a conversion visible here in the newer wiring set against the older, sculptural form. It's a small piece of adaptive history: an object that changed with the times while keeping its original shape.
This pair, in the Art Deco style and dating to the 1950s, carries that looping form clearly. Sweeping, ribbon-like arms in soft sage green rise from solid black marble bases, each crowned with twin brass candle-style sockets.
Note how the loop of each arm crosses over itself in a continuous, unbroken curve rather than meeting at a joined seam — the kind of fluid, single-line silhouette that gives the piece its sculptural quality rather than reading as a simple bent bracket. Brass banding wraps the base of each loop where it meets the marble.
Whoever kept this pair on display before you kept them with real use — the marble carries a few light chips that add to its character rather than detract from it, and the electrical conversion is in working condition. It is ready for a console table, mantel, or entryway.
