This is an elegant, hand-made graduated antique mercury glass 19th century candleholder featuring a richly silvered surface with sculptural turned forms, and a dramatic base. Standing approximately 12.5inches tall and 6” wide at the base. It is impressive whether standing on a dining table, mantel, entry console, or as a holiday centerpiece. The reflective mercury glass finish captures and amplifies ambient light, producing a warm glow that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. With its graceful silhouette, and hand-finished appearance the silvered surfaces exhibit the characteristic mottling and variation associated with mercury glass, adding depth and old-world charm.
Mercury glass has been prized since the nineteenth century for its luminous reflective qualities and ability to mimic the appearance of silver at a fraction of the weight and cost.
