Originally cast in solid bronze in Egypt during the height of the Egyptian Revival movement, these taper holders showcase exquisite detailing throughout — from the finely articulated surfaces to the crisp, dimensional casting that reflects true early 20th-century craftsmanship. The level of definition is refined and intentional, not decorative afterthought.

What truly distinguishes this pair is the unique figure 8 base shape. Rather than a conventional round or stepped plinth, the bases present a sculptural profile. They have presence. They anchor a surface rather than simply sit on it.

The recent professional nickel plating transforms the warm bronze into a cool, polished metallic surface, allowing the detailing to read even more sharply under light. The finish gives them a sophisticated Hollywood Regency edge while preserving the integrity of the original casting.

These are substantial, weighty pieces — solid bronze beneath the plating — and feel serious in hand.

Ideal for:
• Flanking a console or mantel
• A dramatic dining table setting
• Layered into a neoclassical or Art Deco interior


They balance antiquity and glamour in a way that feels both curated and current. See less
