Pair Of 19th-century Uranium Crystal Candlesticks
A pair of candlesticks made of fluorescent yellow-green tinted crystal, known as uranium crystal, dating from the 19th century.
Each candlestick features a slender, faceted shaft with fluting, punctuated by several gadrooned bands. The widely flared circular base is richly decorated with radiating ribs and flutes, while the top features the same molded decoration, giving the piece a beautiful architectural unity.
The remarkable, particularly luminous chartreuse-yellow color is characteristic of uranium-containing glassware, which was highly prized in the 19th century. Confirmation can be obtained by fluorescence under a UV lamp.
