The Neoclassical style, popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, emphasized symmetry and detailed motifs inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art. The Victorian era (mid-to-late 19th century) saw a revival and embellishment of these classical styles, often with heavier, more elaborate designs like those seen here. Candelabras were not just for light but also a symbol of wealth and sophistication, gracing dining tables and mantels in affluent households. The green patina visible on some parts of the brass is a natural sign of aging, known as verdigris, and speaks to the item's genuine vintage nature and long history.Measurements & Condition: Height: Approximately 14 inches  Weight: 1.462 kg Condition: Good vintage condition, with a lovely aged patina that adds to its character.

About Green Onyx and Art Deco Tobacciana: Green onyx, a banded variety of chalcedony, was a popular material in the early to mid20th century, especially during the Art Deco period (roughly 1920s1940s), due to its striking colours and ability to be highly polished. Its use in decorative objects, particularly tobacciana like ashtrays and lighters, was common, reflecting the era's appreciation for luxurious and exotic materials. Art Deco design emphasized geometric patterns, streamlined forms, and rich ornamentation, often incorporating materials like brass, chrome, and polished stone. Pedestal ashtrays were a common feature in homes and public spaces during this period when smoking was more prevalent and considered fashionable. These pieces were designed not just for function but as significant decorative elements, embodying the elegance and opulence of the Art Deco movement.
