A striking pair of pressed glass candlesticks in the form of crucifixes, each featuring a finely detailed figure of Christ with radiating halo and etched decorative detailing along the cross and stem. The faceted hexagonal bases give them excellent presence and stability, while the clear glass catches the light beautifully when candles are lit.
These devotional candlesticks were commonly used for home altars, bedside shrines, or small chapels in the late 19th to early 20th century. Their sculptural form makes them equally compelling as decorative objects today—especially styled on a mantel, shelf, or vignette.
