Absolutely gorgeous! See pics for condition. Late 1800s, Europe, most likely France Candelabra have a long history, evolving from simple torch holders to elaborate decorative pieces that illuminated grand halls and dining rooms. Made from various materials like bronze, silver, brass, and even wood, they often served as status symbols and focal points in interior design. The addition of crystal or glass elements became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, enhancing their decorative appeal and light-reflecting qualities. This particular pair, with its alabaster bases and ornate brass arms adorned with crystal drops, suggests a style popular during the late Victorian or Edwardian eras. The use of alabaster, a soft, translucent stone, combined with the metallic sheen of brass and the sparkle of cut crystal, exemplifies the opulent decorative tastes of the period. Such pieces were often crafted in Europe, particularly in France and Italy, known for their skilled artisans in metalwork.
