A pair of vintage ornate brass three-light candelabra.

A pair of vintage ornate brass three-light candelabra. Candelabra have a long history, evolving from simple single-arm candle holders to elaborate multi-branched structures used for both practical lighting and decorative display. They became particularly popular during the Baroque and Rococo periods, often crafted from precious metals like silver and gold, or more common materials such as brass and bronze for everyday use. Their design often reflected the prevailing artistic styles of the era, incorporating intricate ornamentation and symbolic motifs. Brass candelabra, like the pair shown, were widely produced across Europe and America from the 18th century onwards. They were a staple in affluent homes, used for dining tables, mantelpieces, and special occasions. The ornate, scrolling designs with leaf motifs seen here are characteristic of styles popular in the late Victorian or Edwardian eras, suggesting a production period around the turn of the 20th century.
