Pair Of Vintage Hollywood Regency Glass, Gilt, and Marble Candle Holders

  

The 7 inch tall Hollywood Regency style, popular in the mid-20th century, is characterized by its opulent and glamorous aesthetic, blending traditional elements with modern flair. This style often incorporates luxurious materials like gilt, marble, and crystal, along with bold colors and ornate decorative motifs. It was a popular choice for interior design and decorative objects during the era, reflecting a sense of sophisticated indulgence. These candle holders, with their combination of cut glass, marble bases, and ornate gilt metalwork, are a prime example of this design sensibility.

The use of materials like ormolu (gilt bronze) and the detailed leaf motifs are hallmarks of the period's decorative arts, aiming to create pieces that were both functional and visually striking. Such items were often used to adorn mantels, side tables, and dressing tables, adding a touch of elegance and sparkle to a room.
