About the Item
Elegant pair of French ceramic candleholders, enhanced by a refined lustre glaze with iridescent, mother-of-pearl reflections that shift from pearl white to deep blue depending on the light. This sophisticated finish is characteristic of decorative production between the 1930s and 1950s. Their architectural design, with a pyramidal base and double horizontal arms, gives these pieces a sculptural and modern presence, positioned stylistically between the late Art Deco period and the experimental French design of the postwar years. The style and technique suggest a French origin, with affinities to the Vallauris workshops or Parisian studios that, in that period, explored geometric forms and shimmering glazes. The balanced structure evokes both the geometric purity of late Art Deco and the Space Age aesthetic of the 1950s, when the pursuit of essential form was combined with innovative glazing techniques. Certain details recall the spirit of designers and architects such as Jean Luce, André Lurçat, as well as the decorative ceramic works of Vallauris, created for a sophisticated clientele with a taste for contemporary interiors. An intriguing detail is the small hole at the base, originally intended to allow for optional electrification—an element that underlines the versatility and thoughtful design of these pieces. The iridescent glaze creates ever-changing reflections, making each angle unique and captivating. Perfect for enriching a modern or eclectic interior, they can be displayed as sculptural centerpieces, placed on an entryway console or contemporary mantel, or used as a striking pair on the dining table. In good overall condition. Dimensions (each): Width: 30 cm (11.8 in). Depth: 5 cm (2 in). Height: 16 cm (6.3 in).
