A small witness to a bygone era, this silver-plated candle holder is one of those modest yet elegant objects that naturally accompanied daily life. Its form is particularly pleasing, with a wide circular basin surrounded by a fine fluted rim and a central socket accented by several moldings. A simple, almost classical design, conceived both to hold the candle and to catch any wax drips from the flame. One can easily imagine it placed on the edge of a writing desk, on a small table next to an armchair, or accompanying the last pages of a book before nightfall. Its size allows it to be easily integrated into contemporary decor, alone or combined with other antique candle holders of different heights. The silver-plated metal has retained a lovely shine, nuanced by the patina of time. Scratches, small marks, and antique traces are present, particularly inside the socket, without detracting from its charm. It is precisely these irregularities that today give this small piece its presence and character. Diameter approximately 9 cm. Height approximately 6.5 cm. Socket opening approximately 4.5 cm. Circa .
