Pair of 19th-Century Gothic Revival Gilt Brass Altar Candlesticks

A statement in architectural romance and craftsmanship — this extraordinary pair of 19th-century Gothic Revival altar candlesticks captures the ornate beauty of the Victorian era’s fascination with cathedral design. Cast in richly gilt brass with exquisite spire finials, trefoil tracery, and miniature arched windows reminiscent of medieval sanctuaries, each piece stands an impressive 26 inches tall.

Once gracing a European chapel, these sculptural candlesticks now bring the same reverence and grandeur to a modern interior. Style them on a mantel, console, or dining table for a dramatic interplay of light, texture, and history — a perfect fusion of Old World craftsmanship and modern maximalism.

Details: Era: Late 19th Century (circa 1880) Origin: France  Material: Gilt brass (solid cast, not plated) Dimensions: 26” H × 6.5” W Condition: Excellent antique condition with minor patina consistent with age Use: Designed as pricket altar candlesticks for large taper or pillar candles

Why We Love Them:
These candlesticks are pure Gothic theatre — all pointed arches, sculptural lines, and glowing gold tone. They speak to an age of devotion and artistry, yet feel utterly modern when paired with moody florals or a marble console.
