Pair French Art Nouveau candle sticks

Pair of Art Nouveau Candlesticks – Early 20th Century
From a time when design and nature walked hand in hand, this pair of early 20th-century candlesticks captures the essence of France’s Art Nouveau movement. These are not simply candle holders—they are expressions of an artistic era that sought to bring beauty into everyday life.
Crafted from heavy metal and shaped with elegant, organic detailing, they reflect the influence of natural forms that defined the period—fluid lines, leaf-like curves, and a sense of quiet movement frozen in metal. The finish, originally a pale silvery tone, has aged beautifully over the decades. Time has softened the surface, allowing hints of the base metal and subtle patinas to come through, adding depth and character that only age can bestow.
Each candlestick is marked on the base with “Depose,” indicating it was a registered design—a common practice in France at the time to protect the uniqueness of artistic works.

Height: 14.5 cm
Base: 13.5 cm square

These candlesticks tell the story of a design movement that looked to nature, not machines, for inspiration. Quietly dramatic, rich with age, and full of soul—they belong in a home that values the past as much as the present.
