AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Pair of antique 19th-century figurative candlesticks of French origin.
Style and Design: They follow the Revivalist Renaissance or Neo-Baroque style, very popular in Europe during the Second French Empire / Napoleonic III period (the latter half of the 19th century).
Figures: Each piece is molded as a Renaissance soldier or guard dressed in period attire (detailed armor and helmet). They hold an ornate stem with foliage and geometric details that ends at the candlestick mouthpiece.
Base: Tripod-style legs with cut-out foliage decorations and Baroque volutes, providing stability.
Conditions: Reasonable; one figure is missing the sword, they do not sit perfectly, and show many signs of wear and use. But they are two very detailed pieces with richly decorated ornamentation, very beautiful.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
