Pair of 1982 Lefton Christopher Collection Nativity Candle Holders 03430. They measure 3 3/4" in height with a 4" base. Excellent condition.
Released in 1982 as part of the beloved Christopher Collection, these Lefton nativity candle holders are a beautiful example of late 20th-century seasonal porcelain. Each piece in the pair features a meticulously sculpted holy family scene, rendered with the soft, soulful expressions that defined this specific Lefton series. The matte bisque finish provides a muted, reverent quality, while the hand-painted accents in dusty blue, straw yellow, and earth tones add a gentle warmth to the display. The circular design allows the narrative of the nativity to be viewed from multiple angles, making them ideal for a central table arrangement.
These candle holders align perfectly with a Dark Academia holiday aesthetic, where their historic subject matter and matte textures complement a setting of dark wood, candlelight, and classical music. They offer a more understated and intellectual approach to holiday decor compared to high-gloss, brightly colored modern sets. In excellent condition and bearing the model number 03430, these pieces have been remarkably well-preserved. They are designed to hold standard taper candles, providing both atmospheric light and a sense of quiet tradition to a mantle or a curated bookshelf display during the winter months.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old.
