Candelabra

19th century
Description

A late 19th century fine quality ormolu, gilt metal and carrara marble candelabra with provision for 3 candles. This delightful piece, surmounted with a crescent moon, takes the form of a 3 tier waterfall. Rope-twist branches support cascading crystals below, whilst 3 scrolling arms support the candles. A white marble plinth supports a column with ormolu and fluted terminal.

The crystals reflect and refract the gentle candlelight bringing a sparkle to the eye and multiplying the candle power. This delightful piece takes us back to the 18th century when candlelight and fire screens enhanced and protected the beauty of our young ladies.

This late 19th-century French Empire style candelabra combines cut crystal, gilt brass, and white marble, presenting a clear and gold colour palette. The piece takes the form of a three-tier waterfall featuring cascading glass droplets, rope-twist branches, and three scrolling arms with provision for three candles, all surmounted by a crescent moon finial. The structure sits on a square marble plinth supporting a turned column with fluted terminal details and gilded mounts. Measuring 43 cm high, 33 cm wide, and 33 cm deep, this item functions well as a striking decorative accessory on a sideboard top in a dining room or drawing room today.

FAQs

A waterfall candelabra features multiple tiered concentric metal wire arms hung with faceted glass or crystal drops, creating a cascading fountain effect designed to reflect candlelight.

Traditional pieces combine hand-cut lead crystal prisms mounted on gilt brass or bronze frames, often anchored by solid marble or alabaster plinths for stability.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut crystal drops linked with hand-bent wire pins, irregular facet cuts, square-cut threaded brass fitments, and natural veining in the stone base.

Designers position these statement pieces on a sideboard, dining table centre, or fireplace mantel to add reflective structure and classical symmetry against contemporary backgrounds.

Dust individual crystal drops gently using a microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical solvents on gilt metal surfaces, and clean marble bases using only dry or slightly damp soft cloths.
