Candelabras

The candelabra is a timeless symbol of prestige and shared moments. For centuries, it has graced grand dining tables and foyers with sparkle and sophistication.

One of the three characteristics that set crystal apart from glass is the iridescent colour created by the reflections of light within it. This exceptional characteristic inspired Saint-Louis to create pieces from the world of chandeliers, including crystal candelabras. Since 1834, Saint-Louis has offered torches and candlesticks in its catalogue, as well as crystal chandeliers designed to adorn the bronze structures of goldsmiths who were clients of the manufacture.

Created using historic know-how, these candelabras embody the art of glassmaking. In 1895, the King of Nepal commissioned several four-metre-high candelabras. Such a masterpiece illustrates the skill of master glassmakers, who were able to combine tradition and boldness to design unique objects. Even today, these pieces continue to appeal to art and design enthusiasts.

A candelabra on a stand becomes a real focal point for the space it's installed in. Its majestic proportions and refined details catch the eye and create a unique atmosphere, while a table candelabra can be used to elegantly embellish a piece of furniture, bringing a classic touch to interior decor. These light fixtures can enhance living rooms, dining rooms, or foyers, lending them an air of grandeur.

Classic candelabras, such as those in the Royal collection, take inspiration from historical models while incorporating modern finishes to meet contemporary needs. Each piece is crafted by several artisans, whose know-how is divided between hot moulding and cold cutting. Their twisted branches require the crystal to be turned while it is blown. This exceptional technique, known in French as ‘soufflé-tourné bouche (mouth-blown and turned)’, imprints a permanent, perfect shape onto the material.

Opting for a crystal candelabra means choosing a light fixture that goes beyond its function to become a hand-crafted centrepiece. Whether for interior decoration, a special project or to celebrate the art of hosting, a candelabra is essential.
