This pair of Indian brass candle holders, shaped like tall urns on pedestal bases, is covered in hand-engraved florals — the kind of objects that get passed along from shelf to shelf, home to home, because no one wants to be the one who lets them go.
Maker: Unknown, made in India
Materials: Solid brass, hand engraved
Dimensions: 6"H x 2.5" diameter (base) x 2.25" diameter (top) each
Origin: India
Era: Vintage 1970s–1980s (estimated)
Condition: Excellent vintage — natural patina present, can be polished or enjoyed as-is; no chips or dents. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
Beautiful in a boho, maximalist, or globally inspired home. A thoughtful gift for the brass collector or anyone who appreciates hand-crafted objects with real history.
This hand-engraving is a labor-intensive technique that involves carving directly into the metal (not chemical etching), resulting in designs with depth and texture you can feel. Arrow motifs run along the tops; the bodies are dense with floral work. Both pieces are dot-pricked on the base: "India 214J." The patina is honest and lovely — warm, unpolished, the color of old money.
