Myrtlewood Mirror Candlestick Holder Made in USA
The Myrtlewood mirror candlestick holder is a wonderful addition to brighten a hallway or entryway.
This nice Myrtlewood mirror candlestick holder was made in Coos Bay, Oregon USA. The ‘House of Myrtlewood’ was established in 1929 and still in business today. The original stickers are still attached.
The holder is crafted from Myrtlewood (Umbellularia Californica). Myrtlewood is a member of the laurel family and is found only in a limited area along the southern Oregon and the northern California coast. It is a dense, finely grained broadleaf evergreen. This tree is peculiar from other evergreens due to its tiny white blossom that appears annually. The Myrtlewood tree grows slowly, making accessible old growth more scarce.
Finished with high-gloss lacquer, this Myrtlewood mirror candlestick holder is in like-new condition. It measures 15½” long, 7½” wide and fits standard-size taper candles. Estimated circa 1950 – 1980. Made in USA.
