In this picture- the table is Mission style I’m pretty sure. I’ve been assigned to find a similar candleholder for my sister and I’m trying to find out what it’s called so I can search online. Any ideas?
(The home, incidentally, and presumably its contents, belonged to Heath Ledger.)
Butt ugly?
Well, that too, but I’m looking for it’s technical name, not the keywords.
All it is is a porcelain candelabra - any antique dealer should find you about a thousand to choose from, if you want to go genuine.
This one, for instance, looks more interesting than that thing on the table. Yours for $400.
Do you need a candleholder which matches the one on the table, or one that matches the table itself?
The table is definately mission style – other search words for this style would be “arts and crafts” or “craftsman” style. Candleholders in that style will be blocky wood, like the table, or quite plain hammered metal or wrought iron.
The candleholder on the table isn’t arts & crafts or mission. It’s too far away to see detail, but the finish (silver, it looks like) seems wrong for arts & crafts. And it is too ornate. It looks more rococco style to me.
The table and benches aren’t so much Mission Style as they are National Park Style.
It’s a weird room, isn’t it? The space itself seems pretty industrial with the stainless steel fixtures and what looks like a poured concrete floor and counters. The glass fronted cabinets and chandeliers feel kind of Asian. Then there’s the extremely rustic craftsman table and roccoco-looking candelabra… Just weird.
Now I can understand his being cast as the Joker.
I’m with this. They’re definitely on the rustic side of Mission. No through tenons, no cloud lifts. I would just call them rustic tables. I agree with rococo for the candelabrum, or maybe baroque?
Baroque! – that was the other word I was thinking of!
