The MET x Eichholtz candle holder Holder Decaix

The Met x Eichholtz introduces the Candle Holder Decaix, inspired by the British fascination with Egyptian design that arose during Napoleon Bonaparte’s North African campaign (1798). With an antique brass finish, our piece evokes an early 19th-century pair of so-called “Egyptomania” candlesticks by Alexis Decaix (British, active 1778–1811) in the Met collection, combining timeless allure with contemporary refinement.
