Candlestick (2) - Gilt brass, Gilt bronze

Splendid and ancient pair of hand-worked brass candlesticks. They feature a slender profile and a finely turned shaft that flares to a circular base supported by three feet in gilded bronze with lion’s paw motifs. Refined artisanal craftsmanship of the 19th century, of great quality and Italian elegance. Some minor, normal signs of wear visible in the photos. Very charming and in good condition.
