Description from the seller
An antique pair of candlesticks depicting a gentleman in eighteenth-century attire with his hunting rifle and his most trusted companion at his side, and a noblewoman in an elegant seventeenth-century style dress, likewise in contemplation with her dog.
What makes these two works of art unique, beyond the meticulously refined outfits, are the gazes and faces of these four characters. They seem to be talking to each other; the faithful four-legged friends at their feet in a contemplative pose remind us, through their faces, of an ancestral and unique bond based on loyalty and mutual emotional support, a millennial cohabitation. This is thanks to the patient and meticulous work in the finest details that the artisans of time knew how to offer.
The entire ensemble, then, is enhanced by the four lanterns and the dimensions that confer to each piece a timeless charm and majesty.
Objects that, thanks to their size, are not afraid to stand alone on a console, in an entryway, or in any other space you want to place them. Antique, or why not in a modern setting, providing a small contrast of antique.
Brass material with a small wrought iron part.
The weight and the measurements refer to each individual candlestick.
