1870s Antique Candle Stands With Holders | Set of 2

With its intricate scrollwork, acanthus leaf detailing, and graceful handle, this 1870s brass candle holder is a striking example of 19th-century European craftsmanship. What sets it apart is the sculptural quality—note the twisted column and ornate grip, reminiscent of early Baroque influences. Each piece in this set is slightly unique, bearing the subtle marks of time and hand-finishing, making it a rare collectible.

It’s a heavy, solid brass piece that has lasted over a century and still holds its ground—both literally and stylistically. Its enduring design and material make it both a functional object and a historical artifact, offering long-term value as décor, a conversation starter, or even a family heirloom in the making.

Imagine holding a piece of history in your hand—cool, weighty, with a finely aged patina that hints at candlelit dinners from another era. The handle fits naturally in your grip, and the craftsmanship reveals itself more with every glance: tiny motifs, ornamental flourishes, and a confident structure that feels timeless.

Likely produced in Europe in the late 19th century, this candle holder draws from neoclassical and baroque design traditions that were popular in Victorian homes. Such pieces were often used on formal dining tables or mantelpieces and signified both taste and social status. The craftsmanship speaks to a time when utility met beauty—and even the smallest home object was a work of art.
