Royal Brierley Crystal Candlesticks

Price: £50

Dimensions: Height 21.5 cm, Length 9.5 cm, Depth 9.5 cm (8.5 in x 3.7 in x 3.7 in)

A wonderfully sparkly pair of vintage Royal Brierley cut crystal candlesticks, with finely cut floral and geometric decoration, faceted stems and star-cut bases. Made by one of England’s best-known crystal makers, they have just the right amount of old-school glamour without becoming too grand for everyday suppers. Royal Brierley has been making English crystal since 1776, with its floral-cut designs among its most recognisable.

Their modest scale is precisely what makes them so useful. Small enough for an intimate dinner table without overpowering your guests, but still gloriously brilliant on a mantelpiece, windowsill or supper table.

Add a pair of colourful candles and let them get on with the important business of throwing light around the room.
