Candle Holder Carnier vintage brass finish S
286 €
The “Candle Holder Carnier,” in its vintage brass finish boasts timeless charm inspired by the allure of cut and polished chalcedony in ancient times.
Beyond its visual appeal, this candle holder hints at apotropaic beliefs, adding a touch of mystique to your decor. The facetted pieces that grace this piece might even be reimagined from older objects, transforming them into neo-classical treasures that merge history and style seamlessly.
HISTORIC PROVENANCE
The Candleholder Carnier takes its aesthetic cues from a candlestick (ca. 1775–90) thought to be French and now in the collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Cut and polished chalcedony, a type of quartz, has long been popular in the design of jewellery and precious objects for its perceived apotropaic powers that ward off evil. The faceted pieces of chalcedony in the Neoclassical example that inspired our candleholder were possibly recut from older objects. This highly sophisticated reproduction has been designed in a vintage brass finish.

How to care for wood veneer
Veneer furniture is covered in a thin layer of real hardwood. Veneers are often used in high end furniture pieces and can be more costly than solid wood. Mid 20th century it became especially popular in interiors when teak wood was often used for Danish design furniture.
To fully enjoy your wood veneer furniture, please follow a few basic rules:
Cleaning and maintenance
Wood veneer requires gentle care to preserve the finish. Dust regularly and clean with a soft dry cloth.
Remove spills immediately as moisture can cause the veneer to peel off the surface. Prevent moisture from getting underneath the veneer by quickly and thoroughly cleaning up any spills. In case of water rings, rub the area with naphtha. Follow up with an application of oil or petroleum jelly to completely erase the mark.
