A striking pair of vintage solid brass chamberstick candle holders featuring a highly detailed, dramatic peacock design. The front of each holder is beautifully cast with a stylized bird head and distinct crest, with the feathers sweeping outward to form a wide drip pan. A long, ornate handle extends from the back of the piece, allowing for easy carrying. The design showcases the classic Hollywood Regency style, which emerged as a continental Art Nouveau revival inspired style that embraced glamour, drama, and high-contrast decoration. The underside reveals that the pieces are solid brass with a beautiful, natural dark patina and subtle verdigris highlights. These hand candlesticks have a wonderful, reassuring weight and add an instant touch of vintage character.
