About the Item

A striking pair of antique French brass serpent candle holders dating to the 1920s, sculpted with elegantly coiled bodies that rise into finely detailed cobra heads supporting candle cups above. Richly cast with textured scales and expressive features, they embody the dramatic glamour of the Art Deco period while drawing inspiration from ancient mythological symbolism. Their beautifully aged brass has developed a warm, mellow patina that only enhances their sculptural quality. Whether placed on a dining table, library mantel, cocktail cabinet, or layered into a collected English country or Palm Beach interior, they provide an unmistakable sense of character and sophistication. Equally at home in traditional, eclectic, Hollywood Regency, or maximalist interiors, these serpent candlesticks serve as decorative objects even when left unlit, bringing sculptural interest and conversation-worthy charm to any vignette.
