Pair of gilt metal chambersticks with handle
This pair of gilt metal chambersticks consists of two matching pieces designed to hold candles and allow them to be carried by their side handle. Each chamberstick features a shallow circular saucer, an ornate raised edge, and a central candle holder elevated on a small stem.
The gold tone is softened by signs of wear and color variations visible on the surface, especially in the interior areas and around the candle housing.
History, design and decorative value
The traditional function of this pair of gilt metal chambersticks is to hold a candle and facilitate its transport from one room to another. The open handle allows each piece to be gripped, while the saucer organizes the composition around the central candle holder.
The design incorporates floral and ornamental reliefs around the edge and on the handle. The candle holder has a wavy edge and a small decorated pedestal. The pair of gilt metal chambersticks can be used today for both functional and decorative purposes, provided that the candles used are compatible with the inner diameter of the housing.
Due to their compact size, they are easy to incorporate onto a side table, console, dresser, display cabinet, or a decorative composition with other metal objects.
