An elegant three-piece console set in rich amethyst glass from Steuben Glass Works, representing the refined artistry of the Frederick Carder period. This harmonious grouping features a generously proportioned centerpiece bowl accompanied by a graceful pair of candlesticks, all executed in a sophisticated deep purple that transitions from translucent violet to darker plum tones.
The centerpiece bowl presents a classic form with a wide flared rim and gently curving sides descending to a solid footed base. Its clean, unadorned silhouette allows the beautiful color and clarity of the glass to take center stage.
The accompanying candlesticks exhibit the skilled craftsmanship for which Steuben was renowned, featuring elegantly turned baluster stems with subtle spiral twisting that catches the light. Each rises to a tulip-form socket topped with a wide, flat bobeche designed to catch wax drippings. The proportions are refined and well-balanced, creating a sense of graceful height.
Together, this console set would make a striking centerpiece for a formal dining table or sideboard, exemplifying the sophisticated color palette and expert glassblowing that distinguished Steuben during its artistic golden age.
