These antiqued silver foiled candle sticks inspire visions of an era gone by. You'll lose your head over these curvaceous candlesticks inspired by the luxurious living of 18th century France. Polished, yet playful, they're an attractive accessory for any occasion. These candle sticks have a classic footed base and curving body. There is also a metal insert for the candle to protect the glass work from dripping wax. Measures h 8.8 x w 5.3 x d 5.3. sold individually.

Silvered glass (also know as Mercury Glass or sometimes, Varnish Glass) is double-walled glassware with a silver coating inside the walls, similar to the silvering on a vacuum flask liner.

Silvered glass was a cheap alternative to the silverware which furnished the houses and churches of the nobility and the well-to-do. The first products were silvered door knobs which conveniently did not need polishing. Then came religious statuary and crude tableforms. Many crucifixes, saints, madonna's and candle sticks were produced as religious souvenirs, and adorned roadside chapels and church altars. Silvered glass proved to be very popular and improved decorating techniques were employed to produce more expensive items. The number of different products is astounding. Salvers, plates, goblets, figurines, match holders, globes, flower vases and lamps were produced, as well as the items already mentioned.
