Antique 1920s Amber Depression Glass Candle Holder Pair Art Deco Gilded Base

$50.00

This pair of antique amber Depression glass candle holders dates to the 1920s and showcases the rich design sensibilities of the Art Deco era. Made of translucent amber glass, each piece features a tiered, hexagonal form and a broad, weighted base. The base is adorned with a delicate gilded floral overlay and accented by concentric black enamel bands—an unmistakable hallmark of early 20th-century decorative glassware.

Now over 100 years old, these candle holders are both functional and collectible. Their warm amber tone catches light beautifully, making them equally striking whether used with taper candles or displayed on a vintage-inspired shelf, mantle, or dining table. The gilded details, while showing light surface wear from age, retain their ornate character and lend a sense of craftsmanship to the overall design. A beautiful addition for collectors of Depression glass, Art Deco enthusiasts, or those curating early American home décor.

Why It’s Special?
These candle holders are considered rare due to their gilded floral base, which was typically produced in limited quantities during the 1920s. Many surviving examples have lost their gold detailing over time, making this well-preserved pair a scarce and highly desirable find among Depression glass collectors.
