Beautiful & Exceptionally Rare Matching Pair of Christopher Dresser Copper Candlesticks C. These are exceptional finds being a pair of absolutely beautiful and extremely attractive Christopher Dresser designed copper and brass candlesticks. These eye catching copper candlesticks are of a typical Christopher Dresser aesthetic/arts & crafts design consisting of half beehive copper base extending to a brass column, which extends to a turned ebonised fruit wood handle and terminates in a stylistic copper and brass flower, I believe he designed it to be a stylised Tulip. They were licenced to produce these specific Christopher Dresser designed candlesticks, acknowledged as one of the most aesthetic designs of this late Victorian era, which was moving away from Gothic and Industrial designs and leading to Art Nouveau period. These interim pieces are highly collectable, rarely come onto the market as single candlesticks, and I have never seen as a pair before, and as a result the retail price could well be triple the asking price, especially in North America where they have their highest popularity. They are stunning pieces of design and wonderful reflection of the Arts and Crafts period. These beautiful matching pair of Dresser candlesticks are approx. 16cms high and approx. 8.5cms in diameter at the base. As some followers of mine will know, I dont like to clean things I find, I feel it removes a level authenticity especially when they are valuable pieces of history and true antiques. If you desire these cleaned please use a professional as they are too important to use over the counter, often abrasive and very corrosive, supermarket brass and copper cleaners. See images for the exact condition of these wonderful matching pair of candlesticks by Christopher Dresser, c. (4 July 1834 in Glasgow 24 November 1904 in Mulhouse) was a designer and design theorist, now widely known as one of the first and most important, independent designers. He was a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement and a major contributor to the allied Anglo-Japanese or Modern English style, both of which originated in England and had long-lasting international influence. (also the Aesthetic Movement) is an intellectual and art movement supporting the emphasis of aesthetic values more than social-political themes for literature, fine art, music, design and other arts. This meant that art from this particular movement focused more on being beautiful rather than having a deeper meaning “art for art’s sake”. It was particularly prominent in Europe during the late 19th century, supported by notable figures such as Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde and of course designers such as Christopher Dresser (one of the leading designers at the time). The pictures do not do it justice at all, but are important to show the condition. Please be patient, we promise to get your item to you as soon as humanly possible.
