The silvering is beautifully preserved and very bright for its age, throwing a clear, radiant gleam beneath the natural clouding and gentle speckling that accompany authentic 19th-century silvered glass. The glass lip retains traces of candle wax and age, small details that lend the piece a sense of true, time-worn character.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMade between the 1880s and 1890s, it represents the elegant silvered glassware of the period, created to echo the sheen of precious metals while remaining wonderfully light in the hand and softly reflective in candlelight.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOn a table or mantel, it brings a quiet shimmer that pairs beautifully with linen, patinated metals, natural greenery, or seasonal branches. As a centerpiece, it is particularly lovely: cluster it with foliage, small fruits, or a scattering of votives so the mercury glass can catch and scatter the light. Its warm silvered finish diffuses candlelight gently, creating an intimate, flattering glow. This candlestick also pairs seamlessly with other mercury-glass examples, their related forms and harmonized silver tones creating an effortless, collected arrangement when grouped. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 9\" high x 5\" diameter at widest \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 23cm high x 13cm diameter at widest\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084254671186,"sku":"23203","price":647.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC06152_22586627-7648-426c-82a3-26411bf57701.jpg?v=1763647393","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/late-19th-century-candlestick-in-brilliant-silvered-mercury-glass-9","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
