European Contemporary Red Sculptural Candlestick by Margit Wittig
European Contemporary Red Sculptural Candlestick by Margit Wittig

European Contemporary Red Sculptural Candlestick by Margit Wittig

By Margit Wittig

Located in London, GB

Margit Wittig has used her sculptural skills to create beautifully-crafted, well-proportioned candlesticks, which are compositions of her unique signature pearl-shaped designs. Each candlestick begins as hand-sculpted spheres which are used to create moulds in three sizes. Margit refers to these finished spheres as pearls. These highly original, eye-catching candlesticks come in three different sizes depending on the number of pearls: three, five and seven. The candlesticks are cast in resin and Jesmonite mixed with pigment at the start of the process, to ensure color consistency. Some of the candlesticks are subtly finished with hand painted gold patina to reflect the shimmer of the candle. Each one is made with a solid brass drip catcher and can be cast in a variety of colors. Working from her studio in London, as well as candlesticks, Margit creates artistic lighting...

Pair, Antique Spanish Colonial Style Iron Prickets

Located in Atlanta, GA

This pair of Spanish Colonial-style iron prickets, dating from the early 20th century or possibly 19th century, is a striking example of hand-forged craftsmanship from a bygone era. Crafted in the tradition of Spanish Colonial metalwork, these prickets feature a central stem adorned with four meticulously hand-forged roundels, which ascend in a graceful, rhythmic pattern. The prickets rest upon three elegantly splayed feet, further exemplifying the organic yet functional design characteristic of Spanish Colonial aesthetics. The distressed, rusted surface of each pricket tells the story of centuries of use and exposure, enhancing their historical and visual appeal. The patina, developed over time, lends these prickets a timeless quality that underscores their authenticity and age, evoking the rustic charm and enduring beauty of early Colonial furniture...

Vintage, New and Antique Candlesticks for Sale

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.
