Godinger Silver Art Co. Ruby Red Glass and Silverplated Column Candlesticks

This is a pair of decorative candlesticks, likely produced by the Godinger Silver Art Co., featuring a vibrant ruby red glass body encased in a silver-plated metal framework. Each candlestick stands as a tall column with an elegant, tapering silhouette. The design incorporates a 'gaged' or 'overlay' metal cage with spiral-twisted ribs that segment the red glass into vertical lobes. The metal components include a flared, circular base with beaded trim, a matching beaded collar at the neck, and an ornate top rim with shell-like or acanthus leaf motifs. The glass is a deep cranberry/ruby hue, likely machine-pressed to fit the metal armature. The style is a Neo-Victorian revival, popular during the late 20th century. Condition-wise, the silver plating shows noticeable oxidation and tarnish, particularly on the base and upper rims, consistent with age and exposure. There are no visible cracks or chips in the glass from the exterior. These items are typically made of a non-precious base metal with a thin silver electroplate over red-tinted glass. They showcase decorative craftsmanship intended for traditional home decor and formal dining settings.
