STUNNING LARGE ANTIQUE ( 1890 VICTORIAN) ARTS & CRAFTS BRASS CANDLE HOLDER AND SCONCE
This beautiful soft yellow colour brass candle holder measures 7.5 inches high (19 cm) x 7.5 inches diameter (19 cm). It is a splendid example of the Arts & Crafts movement - against unnecessary ornamentation and little concern for utility. Arts & Crafts practitioners were bulwarks against the harsh conditions of industrialisation, they instigated handcraft as opposed to machine production, preserving the authenticity of the artist. Their work was handmade, simple and stylish, in this way a worker earnt the title of artist. This is a beautiful candle holder and with its large stylish handle, large drip plate, strongly riveted, handmade and the column raising the candle to a good height was typical of their ideas on form and function.
A historical piece which will, literally, brighten any corner.
