Pr 9 ft Bronze Maiden Candelabras Lamps Lights
You are viewing a pair of stunning maiden female bronze candelabras which are almost nine foot tall. They really are in impressive pair and it is difficult to know where to start when describing them such is the detail and levels of workmanship to these works of art.
The three maidens stand back to back around the central column. Cherubs sit on the base. The glass is white frosted.
We bought these from an architectural salvage company in Islington where they had bought it from a house sale where it had originally lived in the foyer of a house in Hampstead, one of the more affluent parts of London. It is a big piece – it would perhaps be suited to a large lobby or foyer. Being bronze it could also live outside. As such it would be of particular interest to interior designers. The pair are offered in perfect condition and ready for whatever use you have planned for them.

Why buy table and chair sets from us? Because they are hand made, a great investment and do wonders for the economy..
CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR RANGE OF HAND CRAFTED DINING SETS
My new (well 3 years old) flat screen LCD Toshiba TV now shows lines on the screen. What happened there? It’s not as if I went for the cheapest brand either. I will have to trade it in and get a new one. That’s probably the shelf life of mass produced consumer durables – 3-5 years. Cheap plastic goods probably put together by mechanical robots in a large factory.
Which is why I am proud we sell the type of goods we sell. Hand made by skilled craft and tradesman to centuries old traditions in workshops in England. I am probably particularly talking about our table and chair sets – they just reek of quality and hark back to an older era where guilds of craftsman would lovingly make all goods. A time when consumer durables were just that – durable. In fact so durable items made 400 years ago are still around today and command vase prices exactly because of that. Hand turned on a lathe, hammered and carved, chiseled and assembled, these table and chair sets will still be around in 300 years to come.
Walnut Dining Set
So not only will you be able to sit around the table and chairs and dine in true quality. You can sit comfortably knowing your purchase is an investment as it will only ever increase in value.
In these uncertain times of economic turmoil and unemployment, I often look back through rose tinted glasses to a time when old industries (like furniture and cabinet making) thrived. Trades and skills were passed down father to son. Products were made with love and care and built to last. That’s exactly how these table and chairs are still made today. Buy a piece of history and support the local economy.
We have a large range of dining furniture. Farmhouse furniture – refectory tables and chairs, oak spindleback chairs, ladderbacks, windsor chairs. Victorian dining tables, Regency pedestal tables, Chippendale chairs, Regency chairs, mahogany and walnut dining chairs.
