Crystal Prism Bobeches (Pair)
$24.95
Description
Lest fine table linens become soiled by oily beeswax. . .
Circa 1855 France, the clever crystal disc was placed around a drippy taper to catch candle drippings thereby protecting lace cloths and furnishings from damage. The glass collar offers a central opening through which a candle is inserted into a candleholder.
The concept was further embellished with dangling prisms, and fanciful etched motifs popularized in Europe. Electrified chandeliers continue to mimic the candlelit candelabras with decorative bobeches on every arm.
Candle and candlestick not included.

Lovely crystals
These are so beautiful! I placed them on antique crystal tall candlesticks, so pretty! Love that they are glass, not plastic as so many today are! Love them, will order more!

This made my crystal candlesticks look complete. For some reason, this isn't an item I'm able to go to a local shop and purchase. Glad to have a source for this. Your packaging and service are top-notch. I'll certainly reorder from your company. You have a knack for making the customer feel they are receiving personalized service, as once upon a time was offered in most upscale shops. Thanks!

I purchased these for my daughter to use on her silver candle sticks she inherited from her grandmother. She absolutely loved them! We were both delighted that they are glass and not plastic! They are beautiful!

This pair of Crystal Prism Bobeches are beautiful. This is my second pair I have purchased to replace ones I have had for years, which I accidently broke. Secure shipping.
