The shape goes back to French and Flemish candlesticks of the early 1700s, and the dealer in Avignon who sold it to us in October 2026 dated this one to the 19th century, made in that earlier style. The brass has worn to a soft, uneven glow, darker in the turns of the stem, and the socket still holds a touch of old green verdigris inside. Before electricity, candlesticks like this lit French homes one room at a time. We would stand it on a bedside table or a stack of old books with a cream taper.

Each has a straight ringed column, a wide drip pan at the top and a round stepped base. We bought them from a shop in Avignon in October 2026, together with the octagonal candlestick also in the shop, and the dealer dated them to the 19th century. Their simple shape suits almost any room, and the brass has mellowed to a warm shine with small marks from use. We would stand one on a desk or bedside table with a cream taper, or take both for each end of a mantel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liddy Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44834467610683,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/5080\/6075\/files\/pair-of-french-brass-candlesticks-01.jpg?v=1793478461"},{"product_id":"iron-spiral-candlestick-wide-base","title":"Iron Spiral Candlestick with Wide Base","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-forged iron candlestick with a loose coil of iron wound around the candle, a hooked top and a small handle on the side.
