Vintage Cristal d'Arques French Lead Crystal Starfish Taper Candle Holders Set of 2
$20.00
Add a touch of elegant, nautical charm to your home with this beautiful vintage set of two Cristal d'Arques taper candle holders. Crafted in France from genuine 24% lead crystal, these pieces feature a detailed starfish design with a glossy finish and a lovely textured, ribbed pattern on the underside, creating a sparkling effect when light hits them.
The Cristal d'Arques brand itself was founded in 1968, making crystal items accessible to a broader market. This specific starfish design was likely produced as part of their extensive collections of tableware and home decor items sometime between the 1970s and late 1990s. Production of items using 24% lead crystal under the brand name ended around 2009, after which the company transitioned to lead-free "Diamax" crystal.
Perfect for a beach house aesthetic, coastal decor, or as a unique gift for a collector of French crystal or marine-themed items. They are versatile and can be used for taper or dinner candles or simply displayed as art glass paperweights.
