Gothic Grandeur Meets Organic Artistry
Elevate your interior with a profound piece of American ecclesiastical history. This striking pair of Faux Bois Gothic Ceramic Candleholders offers a rare blend of naturalistic texture and architectural discipline.
Standing an impressive 19 inches tall, these holders were reportedly commissioned in the 1920s from the renowned Rambusch Decorating Company—a studio legendary for its contribution to the "Cathedrals of Commerce" and sacred spaces across North America. Originally designed to furnish a newly constructed church in New Hampshire, they carry a quiet, prayerful dignity into any modern setting.
Design & Heritage
The Faux Bois Aesthetic: Expertly crafted to mimic the organic texture and look of Rosewood, providing a softening contrast to the rigid Gothic silhouette.
Gothic Proportions: The dramatic height and 7-inch wide base echo the soaring arches and verticality of 13th-century European design.
Artisanal Pedigree: Rambusch is synonymous with high-end liturgical art; owning a piece of their early 20th-century output is an acquisition of genuine craftsmanship.
Dimensions 7"W x 7"D x 19"H
Material Glazed Ceramic
Origin Rambusch Decorating Co. (c. 1920s)
Condition Good
Why They Belong in Your Collection
Whether flanking a mantle or anchoring a grand dining table, these candleholders serve as more than just lighting—they are sculptural artifacts. They bridge the gap between Arts and Crafts organicism and Gothic Revival sophistication.
Provenance Note: These pieces represent a unique slice of New England history, transitioning from the hallowed halls of a 1920s parish to the curated home of a discerning collector.
