ANTIQUE TABLE MIRROR

Courting Candle Holder.

Legend has it that between the 17th and 18th centuries, fathers used this type of candle holder when suitors came to court their daughters. It served as a boundary between the lovers. When the candle burned down to the top of the holder, it was time for the suitor to leave immediately. However, the father could adjust the height of the candle based on his feelings towards the suitor. He could extinguish the candle immediately or add a new one, depending on what he deemed necessary. Thus, the candle served as a silent but clear reminder to the suitor of when the date should end. This practice aimed to teach daughters to respect their parents' judgment and encourage suitors to respond to the father's discretion. An interesting example of a candle holder that not only serves as a decorative piece but also carries a story and a connection to the past.

A mirror is not only a beautiful decoration for the wall but also a key element in a home. Think about it; we have them in hallways, near entrance doors, in bedrooms, and, last but not least, in bathrooms as a tool for personal grooming. Mirrors can also be wonderful light transmitters, so we can hang them in rooms where we usually don't need them, visually enhancing the space and adding some light. With antique mirrors that exhibit a beautiful patina, we bring uniqueness to our home, providing inspiration for years to come.
