Arts and Crafts c.1900 Pair of Copper and Brass Lily Pad Candle Night Lights
£780 / set
A pair of Arts and Crafts candle night lights crafted from hand-raised copper and brass, each designed in the form of a stylised lily pad. The circular copper base is shaped as a naturalistic leaf with gently hammered veins, its edges undulating in soft organic rhythm. Rising from each base, a brass candleholder with petal-like drip tray is supported by a coiled stem that curls upward in a fluid, whiplash line, uniting structural purpose with decorative expression. The combination of red and yellow metals produces a subtle warmth typical of turn-of-the-century metalwork, while the restrained natural form aligns with the principles of the British Arts and Crafts Movement. The design reflects the influence of artisans such as the Guild of Handicraft, celebrating craftsmanship, simplicity, and the beauty of natural forms within domestic objects.
