Candleholders: Brass and Mother of Pearl Candlesticks

An absolutely gorgeous matching pair of vintage mid-century Hollywood Regency style candlestick holders.

These elegant taper holders are meticulously crafted from solid, heavy-cast brass and feature a beautiful hand-inlaid mosaic chevron pattern of genuine iridescent white mother-of-pearl shell tiles.

The contrast between the warm, rich golden patina of the aged brass and the luminous, glowing sheen of the natural seashell creates a truly luxurious and sophisticated global bohemian aesthetic.

Stylistic suggestion: pair these with deep, contrasting coloured taper candles — such as forest green, rich burgundy, or matte black — to make the shimmering white mother-of-pearl tiles visually pop on your dining table or mantle display.
More Details

Designed with a classic fluted bobeche rim, a beautifully contoured baluster stem, and a stable weighted flared base, these high-quality pieces bring an effortless touch of vintage Hollywood glam to any space.

These pieces are an absolute staple of Hollywood Regency, Eclectic, and upscale Bohemian (Boho-Chic) interior design.

Mother-of-pearl, also known as nacre, is harvested by extracting it from the inner layer of mollusc shells, typically after the mollusc has died or is harvested for other purposes like pearl production. Associated with calmness, stress relief, and protection against negative energies. It is also believed to enhance personal integrity, intuition, and imagination, and to attract prosperity.

In some cultures, it symbolizes love and is offered as a token of affection. Prized for its iridescent and luminous quality, which adds a delicate and elegant touch to decorative items.
