French Marble Candle Holders

A striking pair of antique French candle holders, combining softly veined marble columns with richly detailed brass bases and cups. The sculptural form—balanced on ornate, flowing feet—carries a distinctly old-world elegance, with delicate repoussé work adding depth and character to the metal.

The contrast between the cool, blush-toned marble and the warm patina of the brass gives these pieces a quiet drama. 

These likely date to the late 19th to early 20th century, sitting between the Napoleon III and Belle Époque periods in France.

A few tells from the design:

• The ornate, scrolling brass base with naturalistic motifs leans strongly Napoleon III (mid–late 1800s).
• The turned marble column in soft blush tones was very popular in decorative objects of that era.
• The slightly lighter, more refined detailing suggests it could edge into the Belle Époque (circa 1890–1910), when pieces became a touch more elegant and less heavy.
