The Set
A boxed pair of Past Times grape candles, ivory toned wax with raised gilt vine and grape detailing.
The ornament is the substance of them: winding gold vines, clustered grapes and a scrolling botanical pattern raised from the surface of the wax. The effect is ceremonial, closer to a decorative object than to a household candle.
They are presented in the original branded Past Times retail box.
History & Provenance
Past Times was an English gift and heritage retailer, and the box carries its origin marking of Witney, England.
The box notes that the grape design is inspired by detailing found on medieval drinking cups, which places the ornament in a medieval revival idiom rather than in any original period style.
The packaging carries a Past Times copyright date of 2017, so the set is dated from the box rather than estimated.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
Unlit they still read as decorative objects, which is the useful thing about ornament raised in wax. They belong beside silver candlesticks, old books and linen, in a dining room lit for atmosphere rather than for efficiency.
They work in a vignette, on a mantel, on a dining table, or in a cabinet of curiosities where texture and detail are the point. The style sits in a romantic traditional register, drawing on European decorative arts.
The original box strengthens the case for them, both as a gift and for a buyer who collects boxed decorative wares, English giftware, or richly ornamented candle sets.

Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques.

If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
