AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of antique single-candle candleholders in heavy metal casting (probably bronze or brass alloy), dating from the late 19th to the early 20th century (about 1880–1920). The pieces perfectly fit the taste of Eclectic / Neoclassical Style, characterized by the mirrored figures of two finely molded putti supporting a floral shaft with a decorated candle cup. The structure rests on a solid naturalistic base with large tripartite leaves. The period craftsmanship is evidenced by the original assembly with a single-slot iron screw under the base and by the excellent quality of the casting, confirmed by the substantial total weight of no less than 2555 grams. The objects, with a height of 22 cm, are in excellent conservational condition, with a splendid original dark patina and natural signs of aging that enhance the reliefs.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
