Joliette Verified independent store

A wonderfully whimsical vintage French candlestick holder in the form of a scallop shell, cast in glass and finished in a warm antiqued gold paint with natural verdigris patina dev eloping in the recessed ribs — giving it the look of something pulled from the sea floor rather than a brocante table. The small central candle cup is just the right size for a taper or birthday candle, and the flat shell form sits securely on any surface. Group several together down a dinner table or on a mantle for a coastal, collected look that feels genuinely old and genuinely French. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. Sold as a pair. dimensions: 12cm x 12cm x 2cm Show more
