Pair of Art Deco Black Lacquer Candlesticks

Description

A striking pair of vintage Art Deco candlesticks, dating to the 1920s–1930s, crafted in turned wood with a black lacquered finish and hand-painted geometric floral decoration.

These pieces embody the sculptural elegance of the Art Deco period, with their elongated tapered stems and stepped bases creating a strong architectural presence. The decorative motif, featuring stylised red and ochre forms, adds a subtle contrast against the deep black ground, typical of early 20th-century decorative arts.

Likely of European origin, these candlesticks reflect the wider Art Deco movement’s fascination with lacquered surfaces, bold colour contrasts, and refined geometric design.

Perfect for:

• Mantelpiece styling
• Dining table centrepieces
• Period or eclectic interiors
• Layered vintage décor schemes

Condition is good vintage, with age-related wear including surface marks, small scuffs, and minor losses to the lacquer, all consistent with age and adding to their character.

• Height: 22 cm
• Base diameter: 10 cm
• Candle aperture: standard taper
