Description

An exquisite pair of Baccarat "Mille Nuits" (meaning "Thousand and One Nights") five-light candelabra, designed by the acclaimed artist Mathias. Crafted from brilliant, hand-cut clear crystal, these pieces evoke the opulent and baroque refinement of Persian legends.

Features:

  • Design: Each candelabrum features a ribbed, tapering central stem and  gracefully scrolling arms.
  • Bobeches: Candles nestle within crystal holders designed to resemble blooming daffodils.
  • Prisms: Adorned with faceted, arrowhead-shaped crystal prisms that dangle and catch the light, creating a sparkling effect. A signature single ruby-red crystal drop hangs among the clear prisms, a hallmark of the Baccarat Mille Nuits collection.
  • Dimensions: Measures approximately H:28in W:17in 
  • Authenticity: The underside of each base features the acid-etched Baccarat script mark for verification.

Condition Notes:
The items appear to be in excellent condition, likely used only for ornamental purposes. As is standard for high-end crystal, potential buyers should be advised to expect minor signs of display or gentle use.

The buyer is encouraged to review all images thoroughly and inquire for a detailed condition report prior to bidding.
