Oversized Hollywood Regency Brass Parrot Candlesticks — Pair-Over 1 Foot Tall
Bold, sculptural, and undeniably glamorous, this pair of oversized Hollywood Regency brass parrot candlestick holders makes a dramatic design statement. Cast in gleaming brass with streamlined Art Deco-inspired curves, each bird is perched upon a tall, trumpet-shaped pedestal with an integrated holder at the top sized for a standard taper candle.
- One parrot rests upright with its head lifted, measuring 13.5” high × ~6” long × 5.5” wide.
- The companion parrot leans forward in a graceful bow, measuring 12.75” high × ~9” long × 5.5” wide.
- Together they weigh a substantial 10.30 pounds, giving them impressive presence and stability.
Finish & Patina
The brass is polished, reflecting light with a warm golden glow. These are not lacquered, allowing them to naturally develop character and depth over time. The bird with its head down shows a few age-related spots, adding authentic vintage charm.
Condition
- Excellent overall vintage condition.
- Expected light surface marks, tonal variations, and minor age spots consistent with use.
- Each holder accommodates a standard taper candle (candles shown for display only, not included)
Style Notes
- Striking oversized scale rarely found in brass candlesticks.
- The stylized parrot forms add an exotic yet elegant edge — glamorous enough for a Hollywood Regency interior, versatile enough to mix into eclectic, mid-century, or maximalist décor.
- Perfect for dramatic dining tables, console tables, mantles, or entryway styling.
Summary
A stunning and weighty pair of vintage oversized brass parrot candlesticks, full of personality and presence. True statement décor that balances tropical whimsy with sculptural sophistication — heirloom-quality pieces that will continue to age beautifully with time.
Vintage Statement
These preloved brass pieces, each over 20 years old, showcase the timeless beauty and enduring charm of aged brass. Brass is a living metal that naturally develops character with age, making each piece truly unique. Expect to see patina variations, dark spots, and subtle greenish or bluish tints due to natural oxidation. Over time, these spots and other natural flaws will blend in as the brass darkens and matures, developing a rich bronze-colored finish. These characteristics are not imperfections but rather marks of authenticity, contributing to the distinctive allure and historical value of genuine vintage items.
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and dry right away, or dust with a dry cloth. For those who prefer a polished look, these pieces can also be polished to restore their original shine. Embrace the history and charm that each piece brings, knowing that its journey continues to add to its story.
