Pair of Art Deco Twisted Glass Candlesticks — Belgium, 1920-30s
This striking pair of clear glass candlesticks captures the quiet drama of early Art Deco design. Crafted in Belgium by the Pavillons glassworks in Beignée (Ham-sur-Heure), these pieces showcase the refined balance between industrial precision and decorative beauty that defined the era.
Each candlestick features a beautifully twisted column, creating a subtle spiral that catches and refracts light from every angle. The flared, scalloped drip trays echo classical forms, while the weighted, ribbed bases provide both stability and visual rhythm. When lit, the glass glows softly, transforming simple candlelight into a sculptural experience.
Documented in original Pavillons catalogues under the name “Chandelier torsé” (twisted candlestick), these pieces are authentic examples of mechanical glassmaking from the mid-20th century—functional objects elevated by thoughtful design.
Elegant yet understated, they work just as beautifully in a modern interior as in a vintage or Art Deco setting. Whether displayed as a pair or styled individually, these candlesticks bring a sense of history, craftsmanship, and timeless sophistication to any space.
