Description from the seller

An antique pair of caryatid statues used as cast-iron candle holders. The bases are made of decorated wood, while the upper candle-holders are in painted copper, crafted to echo the style and coloration of the caryatids themselves. The overall piece fully captures the taste and lines of the Liberty era.
The overall condition is good, with a slight loss of color consistent with age and use. Two pieces that are very striking, perfect for display in an entrance or in a formal reception area, enhanced with ornamental plants.

A caryatid is an architectural sculpture that serves as a column and represents a female figure; the male counterparts are called telamons or atlantes.

Height: 59 cm

Accurate shipping with professional packaging.

ATTENTION: Customs duties and other charges.
Customs duties or other import taxes may apply in some countries. These costs are the responsibility of the buyer and our company cannot be held responsible.
If you have any doubts, we kindly ask you to consult the relevant authorities before bidding on any item at auction.
Thank you.
