Two flames, a few crystal gleams, and a table immediately transforms its look. This very elegant two-light candle holder forms an almost sculptural silhouette, evoking an open lyre. Its two arms rise gracefully from a wide oval base, entirely crafted to play with the light. The crystal is generously cut with radiant patterns and stylized foliage. The broadly faceted base forms a luminous crown, while the two fluted bobeches hold the candles aloft. When these are lit, the crystal cuts catch the flame and multiply it into a multitude of small reflections. Made in Europe in the second half of the 20th century, around , it belongs to that generation of decorative objects where crystal left grand ceremonial tables to enter freer and more contemporary interiors. On a set table, it immediately brings an elegant touch. On a console table, a fireplace mantel, or a low cabinet, it becomes a decorative object in its own right. And there's no need to wait for grand occasions: two candles on a winter evening are amply sufficient to reveal all its charm. A luminous and refined piece, which retains that timeless elegance inherent to cut crystal. Approximately 16 cm wide. Approximately 12 to 13 cm high.
