Open barley twist brass candlestick round base
Includes free shipping to UK mainland
For sale, a stunning antique Victorian brass candlestick, meticulously crafted with an open barley twist design—a hallmark of 19th-century craftsmanship.
The barley twist motif, inspired by the twisting stalks of barley, gained popularity in English furniture and decor during the 17th century and experienced a revival in the Victorian era. This intricate design not only showcases the artisan's skill but also adds a dynamic visual appeal, making it a distinctive feature in period pieces. This particular candlestick, originating from the Arts and Crafts movement, reflects the period's emphasis on traditional craftsmanship and quality materials. The candlestick stands on a solid circular base, ensuring stability, and features a wonderful original patina that has developed over the decades, enhancing its antique charm. Barley twist designs were often used in furniture, staircases, and candlesticks, where the open twist variation—seen in this piece—adds a sense of lightness and elegance. This candlestick is not just a functional item but also a piece of history, embodying the rich decorative traditions of the Victorian era. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts, it serves as a beautiful reminder of the past and a testament to timeless design.
