Pair of Art Nouveau candlesticks, blown glass, 1930s–1950s
VNTG0004125
32854
$
Two tall forms, simple and fluid — like an elongated silhouette of light.
Modernist candlesticks, handcrafted.
The glass is heavy, with a barely perceptible green tint. The surface is smooth, bearing the character of handmade work. The flowing transitions of form, the thickening towards the base — all indicate that this is not a press-moulded piece, but individually blown.
Such candlesticks could have graced the studio of a mid-20th-century architect—or an interior designed according to Jean-Michel Frank's blueprints, where every object breathed air and equilibrium.
Historical Context:
The transition from Art Deco to Modernism in glassmaking was marked by a new approach to form. Excessive ornamentation gave way to elongation, restraint, and material honesty. This trend was particularly strong in workshops in Belgium and the Netherlands—places where the traditions of blown glass had remained unbroken for centuries.
How to use
• Symmetrically — on either side of a table or console
• Or intentionally asymmetrically — one on the mantelpiece, the second in the bathroom
Item Information
Material: Blown glass
Country of origin: Presumably Belgium or the Netherlands
Years: 1930s–1950s
Dimensions: height — 29.5 and 29 cm, base diameter — 11 and 10.5 cm

Each item in our vintage collection has its own history, which may leave traces of its past life.
We strive to describe the condition of each lot as accurately as possible, and our photographs are taken in good light and have not been retouched, so you can examine the item as thoroughly as possible.
Hronika: vintage collection features only those items that have retained their aesthetic appeal and can become a beautiful detail in any space. Nevertheless, please note that even perfect items may bear traces of time.
