Finding the Right Candlesticks for You

Vintage, new and antique candlesticks and candleholders do not simply infuse a dining room with a soft, warm glow. They also add dimension, conjure drama and draw attention to a table or mantel. Despite their practical origins, today, decorative candlesticks and their holders elevate spaces by matching interiors or adding color and bold shapes.

For those who enjoy the rich pageantry of the Old Masters, candlesticks in the Baroque and Rococo styles offer intricacy and opulence. The design of Baroque candlesticks — thanks to the influence of the Catholic Church — often boasted complex shapes and featured biblical figures. While bronze candlestick holders have a long history dating back to the ancient world, many 17th-century candlesticks were made of luxurious silver. Armed with a disposable income and a desire to show off their status, the newly emerging middle class acquired candlestick holders as intricate art pieces, beautiful and opulent in their own right.

The Art Deco movement of the early 20th century saw candlesticks designed with simplicity and symmetry in mind. Art Deco candlesticks boast all manner of forms, ranging from sleek curves to bodies of ribbed crystal or bronze that take the shape of animals.

While some 20th-century-era candlesticks are akin to statues in their grandeur, these decorative items became especially fashionable in the mid-20th century for atmospherically illuminating dinner tables. Mid-century modern candlesticks frequently epitomize the streamlined functionality that we’ve come to associate with the era.

Questions About Rare Brass Candlesticks
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To refurbish brass candlesticks, start by removing any wax. Then, combine one tablespoon of salt with a half cup of white vinegar and mix in white flour to create a paste. Use a soft cloth to cover the entire candlestick with the substance. Let it rest for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water and drying with a soft cloth. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique and vintage brass candlesticks.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To shine brass candlesticks, first determine whether they’re lacquered or brass-plated. If so, shine them with a soft cloth. If not, use a high quality brass polish according to directions — wash the brass in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. You'll find a variety of solid brass candlesticks from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    One way to check if your brass candlesticks are from the 18th century is to look for the two seams running lengthwise on either side. This is from when the candlestick was molded in two halves and then soldered together. You’ll find a variety of candlesticks of all shapes and sizes from some of the top sellers on 1stDibs.
