ProfessionalProduct description
Elegant individual cut crystal candle holder, made during the 1950s-1970s, a period when table arts placed particular emphasis on the play of light produced by clear crystal. After the war, objects intended for the table were no longer conceived solely for their function. Bowls, candle holders, and small decorative accessories became integral elements of interior staging. Crystal particularly lends itself to this pursuit, its cut surface allowing light to be broken down and animating an object that is otherwise entirely transparent. This candle holder is a beautiful illustration of this. Its wide circular bowl features a radiating design composed of long, tapered leaves that seem to revolve around the central candle holder socket. Deep cuts alternate with fine incisions and produce, depending on the lighting, small, particularly luminous prismatic flashes. The center holds a straight candle in a faceted socket with thick walls. Beneath it appears a delicate geometric star, visible by transparency through the crystal and complementing the movement of the bowl's design. With approximately 9 cm in diameter and 7 cm in height, it possesses discreet proportions that allow it to be easily integrated into a table setting, a console, or a decorative arrangement. Used with a candle, the flame naturally amplifies the facets' work; presented alone, it retains all the charm of a small piece of crystal-ware whose design changes with the light. A luminous and elegant piece, representative of mid-20th-century taste for cut crystal and radiating designs. Excellent condition.
