About the Item
Hand-painted in the storied workshops of Royal Tichelaar Makkum, this pair of Delftware candlesticks captures the Dutch ceramic tradition at its most refined. Produced in the mid-20th century, each candlestick is decorated with intricate polychrome florals and scrolling motifs, hand-applied in deep cobalt navy blue, ochre, green, and iron red. The squared bases taper into elegantly modeled stems, while the tops feature a small slit—an old practical detail designed to make removing candle remnants easier.
Royal Tichelaar Makkum, founded in 1572 and still operating today, is the Netherlands’ oldest ceramic company and one of Europe’s most respected. Known for their exacting hand-painting techniques and devotion to traditional tin-glazed earthenware, the factory supplied both everyday Delftware and extraordinary presentation pieces for collectors and royalty alike. These candlesticks reflect the continuity of that legacy—functional objects elevated into works of art by meticulous craft.
This Delftware candlestick pair would lend depth and history to a dining table, mantel, or collector’s cabinet. Beyond their decorative appeal, they embody the enduring artistry of Royal Tichelaar Makkum and the centuries-long Dutch ceramic tradition.
