AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title
Pair of decorative candelabra with winged dragons (wyverns) – cast brass – Europe – circa 1950–1975
Description
Offered is a very decorative pair of candelabra in the form of winged dragons (wyverns), crafted from cast brass.
The mythological figures are richly detailed with powerful limbs, gracefully curled tails and finely worked wings. Each dragon carries a flower-shaped drip pan with a crown-shaped candle holder, giving the whole a characteristic historising look, inspired by Gothic and Neo-Renaissance forms.
The candelabra feature a warm, naturalmente developed brass patina that enhances their decorative character. Because of their sculptural form, they are particularly attractive both as functional candelabra and as decorative objects.
