Pair of English Art Deco Candlesticks
Geometry meets glamour in this rare pair of English Art Deco candlesticks, their forms built from alternating octagonal discs of clear Lucite and warm “tortoise” finish Bakelite. The result is a rhythmic stacking of light and dark, transparency and opacity, each layer catching the eye in a different way. Even the bases follow suit, constructed from the same interplay of materials, grounding the design with architectural precision. They’re candlesticks, yes—but with an unmistakable sense of style, the kind that makes you imagine smoky jazz clubs, mirrored bars, and the heady optimism of the 1930s. Utterly chic as they are, they also hint at another life: the perfect candidates to be rewired as lamps, their verticality and sculptural presence begging to be lit from within. Whether left as functional candleholders or reimagined as lighting, they carry that rare mix of rarity, wit, and modern elegance.
