Faceted 24% lead crystal 4 1/2 Art Deco candlestick holders, set of 2. Lead crystal, also known as Bleikristall in German, is a type of glass that contains a significant amount of lead oxide. This addition enhances the glass's brilliance, clarity, and weight, making it ideal for decorative items like glassware and chandeliers. The Art Deco period, spanning roughly from the 1920s to the 1940s, was characterized by geometric shapes, symmetry, and a sense of glamour and modernity. Candlestick holders from this era, especially those made of lead crystal, often feature bold geometric patterns and clean lines, reflecting the Art Deco aesthetic. Manufacturers like Anna Hutte and Waterford, known for their Bleikristall products, produced high-quality decorative items that are now sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship and historical significance.
