About the Item
Monumental Pair of 1960s Brass Candelabras by Madame Journel, Rio de Janeiro
Striking in both scale and elegance, this rare pair of twelve-light candelabras was crafted in Rio de Janeiro circa 1960 by the renowned atelier of Madame Journel, known for her refined revivals of European classical forms.
Executed in polished brass, each piece rises to an impressive 65 cm in height, presenting a sculptural display of sinuous arms arranged on two tiers, each terminating in finely shaped bobèches. The design is a bold reinterpretation of 18th and 19th-century continental candelabras, filtered through the sophisticated mid-century Brazilian eye.
These are not merely utilitarian lighting objects—they are scenic statement pieces, equally suited to anchor a grand dining table or flank a sideboard with theatrical aplomb. The warm gleam of the brass, softened by time, adds to their noble character.
An exceptional example of the post-war Brazilian decorative arts, when European elegance was reimagined with tropical audacity.

A magnificent pair of Spanish Colonial Revival TORCHÈRES CANDLEHOLDERS 1940's
Located in Rio De Janeiro, BR
A magnificent pair of Spanish Colonial Revival torcheres /candle holders, circa 1940, expertly crafted in painted wood with original lanterns fashioned from painted tin. These exquisite pieces stand tall and regal, showcasing the timeless grandeur of early 20th-century design. Their stunning hand-painted detailing, with rich tones of deep red and earthy brown, evokes the elegance of a bygone era. The intricate carving work on the wooden bases features flowing, ornate scrolls and baroque-inspired flourishes, adding a touch of dramatic flair to any space.
The matching lanterns perched atop each torch are equally detailed, designed with graceful curves and crowned with decorative finials. Their distressed finish brings character and a sense of history, making them perfect for collectors or those looking to elevate a traditional or eclectic interior. Standing impressively in height, these pieces would be stunning additions to an entryway, flanking a grand fireplace, or used as statement decor in a formal living or dining room.
Each torch has a sturdy, ornate base, ensuring stability and presence in any room. Given their age, the wear to the paint is consistent with their vintage status, further enhancing their authentic charm. These torches beautifully capture the essence of Spanish Colonial Revival style, blending rich cultural heritage with classic design.
Rare pair of decorative pieces.
