Mercury Glass Votive Holders, Set of 4 — Hobnail Body, Flared Pedestal Foot

A set of four silvered glass votive holders, each with a hobnail-dimpled body on a flared pedestal foot. Lit, the dimples throw scattered points of light in every direction — which is the whole reason this finish has never gone out of style.

These are contemporary mercury-glass-style pieces, not antique: the silvering is applied to the interior and deliberately distressed to mimic the aged originals. That makes them the practical version — you can use them, group them, and not flinch when one gets moved.

Four matching votives is a styling unit rather than four objects. Cluster them down the centre of a table, line them along a mantel, or set them on a mirrored tray where the reflection doubles the light. Equally at home in a Hollywood Regency scheme or on a Parisian-style vanity.
