Description from the seller
These elegant parrot candle holders combine the refined beauty of hand-painted craquelure porcelain with the timeless appeal of bronze. Each piece features a beautifully sculpted blue parrot, individually hand-painted with meticulous attention to colour and detail. The decorative bronze base complements the porcelain beautifully, adding warmth and sophistication to the design.
Standing an impressive 48 cm tall, these distinctive candle holders make striking statement pieces for a mantelpiece, console table, dining room or elegantly styled interior. Their graceful proportions and expressive bird motifs bring character and individuality to a space.
The vivid blue plumage contrasts beautifully with the warm bronze elements, while the craquelure finish lends the porcelain a distinctive textured appearance. The combination of hand-painted porcelain and decorative bronze creates an elegant interplay of colour, texture and material.
Designed to hold candles while serving as decorative objects in their own right, these parrot candle holders are well suited to both classic interiors and eclectic settings. Their distinctive design makes them an appealing choice for collectors and admirers of fine decorative arts.
An elegant addition to a sophisticated interior, these porcelain and bronze candle holders combine artistic detailing, rich colour and timeless decorative appeal.

I am passionate about offering carefully selected, high-quality bronze sculptures that celebrate timeless artistry, exceptional craftsmanship and elegant design.

My philosophy is simple: to make premium-quality bronze sculptures accessible to a wider audience. I am able to offer exceptional pieces at highly competitive prices—often significantly below the prices commonly found on the traditional art and décor market.

Craftsmanship & Casting Technique
Each sculpture is individually cast using the traditional lost-wax casting method (cire perdue) and meticulously hand-finished by skilled artisans. This prestigious technique is renowned for capturing exceptional detail, refined textures and the timeless beauty of fine bronze sculpture, ensuring that every piece possesses its own unique character.
As a natural consequence of this artisanal casting process, small residual particles from production may occasionally remain inside the sculpture. This is an inherent characteristic of the traditional manufacturing technique and does not affect the quality, structural integrity, durability or artistic value of the artwork in any way.
