A striking pair of 19th century columnar-form candlesticks by the esteemed Portuguese silversmith Topázio, renowned for its tradition of excellence in fine metalwork. Each candlestick features a beautifully balanced composition of materials and form, combining gleaming silver plate with molded glass columns to create an impression of both strength and lightness.
The square, stepped bases are silver plated and finely detailed, supporting fluted glass shafts that rise gracefully to Roman Corinthian-style capitals. The interplay between the reflective silver and the translucent glass evokes the grandeur of classical architecture, reimagined through 19th century Portuguese craftsmanship.
Signed discreetly along the side of each base, these candlesticks are a testament to Topázio’s enduring artistry and refined aesthetic. Their timeless neoclassical design allows them to integrate seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary interiors—ideal for a dining table, mantel, or sideboard display. Each is in very good condition, well-polished and showing only minor wear consistent with age and use. Each one stands about 10 ¼ inches high × 3.5 inches wide (26 × 8.9 cm)
