A striking pair of vintage brass candlesticks featuring an elegant open barley twist design. The double helix form mimics the highly ornate, openwork brassware that became a hallmark of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, when brass founders began creating lighter, more intricate metalwork for stylish homes. Crafted in the mid-20th century, these hollow-stemmed holders offer a beautifully light, airy silhouette while capturing that classic heritage style. The turned circular bases feature visible machining lines on the reverse, and the stems are securely constructed via a central threaded rod.
The brass has a lovely warm patina with minor age-related surface wear, presenting in very good vintage condition.
