Pair Of Art Nouveau Candlesticks - Chased Metal And Hand-painted Porcelain - Early 20th Century

Discover this rare pair of Art Nouveau period candlesticks, testifying to the refinement of early 20th-century decorative arts.

This set is distinguished by a technical feat of assembly: a finely chased metal structure with curved lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, highlighting and supporting fine porcelain elements.

Highlights of this piece:

• Exceptional craftsmanship: the floral decorations featured on the porcelain are entirely hand-painted, offering a finesse of line and richness of detail impossible to achieve through industrial processes.

• Unique assembly work: The design testifies to a rare collaboration between metalwork and ceramics, where each material sublimates the other.

• Rarity of the set: It is unusual today to find a perfectly matched pair that has retained all its decorative harmony through time.

• Condition: The gilding and metal have a genuine patina, giving the piece a soul and cachet that only age can offer. Traces of wear from use on the gilded edging, testifying to the authenticity of the piece.

• Weight: 730 g per candlestick

A piece of character, ideal for an interior seeking a touch of history and handcrafted elegance.
