This vintage Asian Chinese carved marble candle holder features a bold, altar-style form with an intricately carved openwork bands depicting dragons and phoenixes. Measuring 7ʺW × 7ʺD × 9.75ʺH with a 5.5ʺ top diameter, it has a strong presence and is designed to hold a substantial, thick candle.
Likely dating to the later mid-century, the piece reflects traditional Chinese symbolism, with the dragon and phoenix representing harmony, balance, and prosperity. The richly veined marble, in rich wine and cream tones, gives it depth and visual movement, while the contrasting silver-tone tiered top and lower band add a refined, architectural edge. It has a satisfying weight consistent with solid marble construction, reinforcing its substantial and well-made feel.
I love how this functions as both a candle holder and a sculptural object—it makes a striking statement on a console, shelf, or tabletop.
