Antique Henri Chaumeil Strasbourg Faience Chamberstick Candlestick – Fait Main

Collector’s Note

Henri Chaumeil “fait main” Strasbourg pieces were produced in limited, hand-finished batches, making signed examples far less common than later factory wares. Pieces from the Chaumeil atelier are increasingly sought after by collectors of French faience, Quimper pottery, and European art pottery. Sculptural chambersticks with figural handles are especially desirable.

This antique French chamberstick candlestick was handcrafted in the Strasbourg faience tradition and decorated in the Décor Strasbourg "Fait Main" (handmade) pattern by noted ceramic artist Henri Chaumeil.

The piece features an elegant Rococo-inspired silhouette with a scalloped sconce, scrolling shell base, and a sculptural handle terminating in a whimsical fish or dragon form. Hand-painted details in iron red, rose, and bright green accent the cream tin-glazed body with classic Strasbourg floral decoration.

The underside is clearly marked “DÉCOR STRASBOURG – FAIT MAIN” and bears Chaumeil’s studio signature, confirming its workshop origin. Condition is very good antique condition with light age wear. Noted are one small rim chip and two tiny flea bites on the handle. These minor imperfections do not detract from display and are reflected in the price. Size is approximately 5 ⅛” diameter at base × 3 ¾” high.

✨ Decorating Appeal

A beautifully expressive example of early 20th-century French faïence studio pottery, this chamberstick brings warmth and character to both traditional and curated interiors. Its sculptural form, scrolling base, and hand-painted accents make it a natural focal point on a bedside table, mantel, or sideboard. Whether styled alone or paired with other antique ceramics, it adds a layer of old-world charm and collected elegance—perfect for French Country, provincial, or European-inspired spaces.
