Timeless beauty of the Corinthian style in candlesticks
- By Johannes de Vries
Corinthian decoration is a style that dates back to the glory days of the ancient Greek and Roman Empires.
For example, this inspired a famous architect, Michelangelo . In Rome, you may know the famous building, the Pantheon.
When you walk in London , you will see The National Gallery in the center of the city. The high Corinthian columns support these structures, but also increase the aesthetic appeal.
A while ago we went to Lugo, not far from Santiago de Compostela. Famous for the Camino .
In these two cities the cathedrals have the columns as part of the decoration of their buildings.
The nice thing after reading this article is that you will notice the columns very often from now on.
We offer a range of candlesticks with the Carinthian way of decorating:
- Various styles of columns, twisted, plain, hexagonal, ribbed.
- Columns decorated with swirling acanthus leaves, garlands, acorns, flags, ribbons and bows.
- Beaded, gadroon, or stepped borders with square or round bases.
If you search for “ Corinthian ” you will find a wide range of candlesticks in this style.
