AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Figural table/fireplace candlestick, cast in bronze-patinated regule, late 19th–early 20th century. Height: 37 cm. Shaped round base with a shell-edged rim and engraved floral decoration. Depicts a page in Renaissance costume, standing and holding one arm aloft with the gilded candle-holder cup. The clothing details are very carefully rendered, typical of period casting:
- Pleated ruff around the neck, with each fold individually modeled
- Doublet with small buttons and a high collar
- Short cape over the shoulders
- Puff breeches with voluminous pleats
- Period stockings and pointed shoes
- Curly hair tied back in a ponytail
- Well-defined face with gaze directed downward
- Gilded upper cup with a beaded rim

Hollow base with a central screw hole, unmarked, as is typical of pieces from this period. Dark patina. Casting weighs 1.5 kg.

Carefully packed and shipped with tracking. For the islands, the shipping cost varies depending on the local carrier.
