It would seem that in modern design there is no place for exquisite forms and antiques. However, the more technogenic the environment becomes, the stronger is the attraction to classics that have been tested for centuries, natural materials, and antique objects. And the candelabrum is not just a tribute to fashion or a junk inherited from the grandmother. This item will naturally fit into the design of a Victorian or classic style.
A candelabrum is, in the original meaning of the word, a candle stand. It is distinguished from the usual candlestick by the presence of a “leg”. Imitations of this exquisite form are now also available with light bulbs. However, a real candelabrum is a tall candlestick for one or more candles, usually made of metal, porcelain, wood or glass.
In an age of widespread dominance of electronics and technology, people want to return old paintings and tapestries, figurines and engravings to their homes. Candelabra and candlesticks, especially with a natural flame, also create a unique atmosphere of a long-forgotten leisurely rhythm of life, home comfort and warmth. In this interior, dark green, burgundy fabrics, tapestry pillows and curtains, antique wallpaper look great. A desk or a secretary made of noble wood, paintings in gilded frames, a fireplace, porcelain figurines, the piano on which the candelabrum stands are all indispensable attributes of an aristocratic style that is back in fashion.
Connoisseurs are not satisfied with the proposal of modern designers. True connoisseurs of antiquity and style of the past era willingly visit flea markets and antique shops. Now candelabra, inexpensive by modern standards, can also be purchased at online auctions, including foreign ones. Once they were made of cast iron, brass, copper. Of course, gold or silver candlesticks can cost a lot of money, but there is no need to spend a fortune, because you can cheaply get an imitation - a thing reproduced from old sketches. Products from Kaslinsky casting or Ural stones are very much appreciated all over the world. Candelabra made of serpentine or selenite, jasper or malachite are not so much a luxury item as a necessary attribute for creating a unique neoaristocratic style. They will find a place in their study, in the living room, and in the chamber concert hall.
If you like to watch films about past centuries, you admire the design of royal or royal chambers, you are inspired by ancient castles, then the candelabrum is one of those items that will definitely please you. Thanks to him, you can create at home the unique atmosphere of an old living room. Decorate the table with a lace tablecloth, put covers on chairs, hang several reproductions of prints or paintings on the wall, and for sofa cushions choose a tapestry fabric - and the style of centuries gone by will come to life again, filled with a new meaning. It is no coincidence that imitations of fireplaces, in which the sound of crackling logs are reproduced , come into fashion. Even in a modern apartment in a multi-storey building, you can create your own harmonious world in which it will be nice to relax and forget about all the worries and pressing problems.
