Not everything has to be 300 years old to be worth having. This solid brass candlestick from the 1970s is a well-made reproduction of the classic Georgian/Queen Anne baluster form — the style that dominated English and Dutch candlestick design from roughly 1700 to 1800, and has been reproduced ever since because, frankly, it's just a very good design.
The proportions are excellent: a tall, elegantly turned stem with multiple baluster nodes, a wide drip tray at the top, and a substantial domed circular base with concentric rings. The brass has a warm, golden tone and has been polished to a good shine. It's the kind of candlestick that looks at home on a mantelpiece, a bedside table, or a windowsill — anywhere that benefits from a touch of traditional warmth.
The base shows the characteristic concentric lathe-turning marks of quality brass production, and the piece has the satisfying weight you'd expect from solid cast brass. A classic form, well executed, at a very accessible price point.

Light a taper candle, put it somewhere it can catch the light, and enjoy the fact that good design never really goes out of style — even when it's pretending to be from 1750.

Maison de L'oro accepts no responsibility for any subsequent reputation upgrades, or for the pressure to maintain this level of taste across the rest of your home.
