An exceptional pair of 1930s Egyptian bronze candlesticks, newly nickel plated to create a luminous, architectural finish that elevates their already dramatic form.

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.
