The piece features a beautifully weighted, tiered brass base; a smooth black lacquered column; and refined brass detailing at the capital and mid-section. Its harmonious blend of polished metal and matte enamel creates a sophisticated contrast that complements both traditional and modern interiors.

While unmarked, the candlestick’s construction, weight, and materials are consistent with high-quality American and European makers of the period—such as Rembrandt Lamp Co., Karl Springer-influenced decorative houses, and French neoclassical ateliers who combined black enamel with brass for luxury interiors.

This piece presents beautifully with a light patina to the brass, adding authenticity and warmth. The design is timeless, architectural, and incredibly versatile—perfect for collectors of mid-century décor, neoclassical lighting, Hollywood Regency accessories, or anyone craving a chic, sculptural candle accent.
