Elegant pair of candle holders sculpted from magnificent onyx marble with natural veining in shades of white, cream, honey, caramel, brown, and smoky grey. The stonework is particularly interesting: each candle holder features a different veined decoration, with a glossy polish that highlights the natural variations of the material. Their architecturally structured silhouette, composed of several curved volumes and wide circular mouldings, gives them a very graphic presence. Both pieces bear an old label under their base reading "Temiz Taş – ONYX SANAYII". This label connects the pair to the production of decorative onyx stone objects from Turkey. Period: 1970s. Origin: Turkey. Material: limestone onyx / onyx marble. Finish: glossy polish. Dimensions: height 15.5cm. Condition: in very good condition. Please note, on one of the two candle holders, there is a small chip at the neck as well as a visible old repair, with a slight junction mark in the stone (shown in the photo). This remains very inconspicuous and does not affect the stability or aesthetics of the whole. Sold as a pair. A very beautiful decorative pair, both sculptural and warm, particularly interesting for enthusiasts of natural stone, vintage design, and decorative objects from the 1970s-80s with a contemporary silhouette and shapes.
