As we are in the eight days of the Jewish Passover, we are sharing some of our favorite candlesticks. Perhaps one of these—or one of the many others in-stock at LEO Design—might help you celebrate the holiday in style.
A baluster is a single upright support often found holding-up a staircase rail or balcony railing. A balustrade is a line of such balusters—including the railing which tops them and the bottom rail (into which they are set). They can be made of wood, stone, metal or other man-made materials. Very often they are turned (or have a "turned appearance"), like the baluster candlesticks, shown above. These English candlesticks, made in the Thirties, are turned oak (yes, in the form of a baluster). With such architectural inspiration, these candlesticks are an easy fit in most traditional interiors. But their handsome oak also works beautifully with the Arts & Crafts. They could even work well in spare, Modernist settings—providing a touch of warmth in a spare (or Industrial) milieu. Click on the photo above to learn more about this handsome pair of candlesticks.
More handsome candlesticks tomorrow and in the days to come.
