Vintage Amethyst Glass Candle Holder Pair MMA S Boston & Sandwich Reproduction
This vintage set of amethyst pressed glass candle holders offers a striking blend of deep color, sculptural form, and historical significance. Produced for the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a faithful reproduction of an original Boston & Sandwich Glass Company design, these candlesticks showcase the refined craftsmanship and decorative style associated with 19th-century American glassmaking.
Each holder features a bold hexagonal base, a faceted column, and a hollow interior—an intentional design element characteristic of early pressed glass. The rich amethyst tone brings warmth and dimension, making this pair ideal for display on mantels, dining tables, or curated vintage vignettes. Their blend of museum-quality reproduction and classic form makes them appealing to collectors of Victorian-era glass, MMA reproductions, and colored pressed glass décor.
A timeless addition for those who appreciate historical design, functional art, and collectible candle holders that pair beautifully with both antique interiors and modern decorative styling.
