Description

The curved arms are decorated with scrolls and vegetal motifs, ending in floral-shaped candle cups. The stepped bases feature raised decoration with fluting, leaves and shells in the Rococo taste.
The contrast between the gilded bronze and the dark patina of the figures gives depth and a sculptural character to the set. Decorative pair with a striking presence, suitable for a table, sideboard, fireplace or classical interior.
Condition: In good overall condition, with localized wear to the gilding, darkening, small marks and oxidation compatible with age.
