Hollywood Regency Tassel-Base Candlestick

Photo reference

1 uploaded photo

Overview

A dramatic decorative candlestick featuring a cast-metal base sculpted to resemble a heavy silk tassel, supporting a vibrant faux-marble stem.

Story

In the glamorous world of 1960s and 70s interior design, the 'Grand Tour' aesthetic made a massive comeback, bringing ancient Roman and French motifs into modern homes.

Maker / Origin

While unsigned, this piece is consistent with the high-end decorative objects produced by Italian workshops or American firms like Maitland-Smith during their early years.

Condition & Value

The metal shows a pleasing aged patina that highlights the tassel's texture. There is some visible oxidation on the drip pan and cup, which is expected for its age. The faux-marble stem appears well-preserved. The absence of a pair is the main value limiter. The patina adds character and should not be aggressively cleaned.
