Absolutely stunning Swarovski Crystal 'Stalactite' candle holder, designed by renowned French designer Andree Putman (1925-2013), from the Swarovski Crystal Home Collection in 1994. Five removable cone-shaped and faceted 'crystal stalactites' held in a chrome-plated stand or base. The crystal candle holders are all the same size but the holes in the stand are a different diameter, therefore allowing for differing heights.  Made in Austria, now retired and numbered #182485. The stand is signed on one end "Andree Putman" and "Swarovski Collection" on the other. In fantastic condition. Length of stand 27cm and height to top of tallest crystal holder 16.5cm.
* My photos do not do this piece justice at all - the crystal sparkles from the faceted sides which I could not capture!
